Thanks for stopping by 🙂 I wish I would have taken a page out of your book and continued to invest during the crash. I hope that when the next one comes I’ll keep cool like you and continue to invest!

But, that is something extremely difficult to do! Our emotions get involved and we are screwed! We screw ourselves and start panic. That’s why a plan or strategy is very important and follow it during those crisis.

I also invest in my 401k as well as ROTH and taxable account. The only 401k was the account which I ran thru the 2008 crisis, so I can use its results as an example. Basically I am back and better than before crisis as I continued investing and buying during the crash. All those holdings recovered greatly and exceeded my initial value greatly too. Of course, this approach can be used when you are still in accumulation phase. When you are 1 or 2 years before retirement, you should have a different approach to protect your portfolio. But now, I welcome these crisis!
