Time gets more important as you get older. Sometimes, you cannot say, 'I will just wait 10 years for my stock value to return'. The other problem is borrowed money, because as the economy goes down, many people are forces to sell because the money they invested is not their own and they need to pay it back. Borrowed money can run counter to reason in the market. The fear that is spreading in the market is based on fundamental weakness. The US stock market is no longer a good investment as inflation is eliminating the rewords of owning US stocks. Investors like to talk about how everything will be ok and stock prices will return, because if they don't then they are out of a job as people move their money into other things. I think the economy is going to shed a million more investor jobs before the party is over. Get out while you still can.
