I didnt have much to begin with only lost about 12k, I have nothing anyway. My mother lost roughly 100k in her retirement fund from all this crashing. My grandmother even more. How much have you lost in Trump’s Tantrum Tariffs game?

Ordinarily, yes. But in this case, we’re dealing with a type of risk we don’t usually have to worry about: sovereign risk. It is entirely possible that Trump could be fucking up the country in ways that the market will never come back from because companies just get entirely destroyed or nationalized or who knows what.
In that sort of case, changing your investments – not timing the market, but responding to the potentially permanent difference in circumstances – can make sense.
This dip isn’t even because of some fundamental issues on the market. It’s just the reaction of scared individuals to what a single person says. When that same person the next month says something else the opposite can happen.
