well 6 months ago i put 80% of my 401k in a high interest savings account. When I see a slight non cratering maybe ill throw it all in.
I should say 80% of my contributions. I wasnt THAT smart.
I had a decent % of portfolio in cash, but did some recent buying.
I guess I could have sold Tuesday and still been in the green and cashed those out, but I hate doing the panic selling. Too easy to get caught in a whipsaw and end up losing money over just doing nothing.
Outside of my retirement accounts, I'm more hesitant to sell as some were short term gains and I didn't want to trigger taxes.
I have a long position in AAPL from the shutdown crash in 2018 I own at $165. Again, could have sold and owed a good amount of taxes as it
had doubled... But would hate to hit worse case where I sell, pay a bunch of taxes, then miss the ride back up and end up in a weaker position. IDK.
Contributions mostly directed into cash.
It's bonus time too, so some extra cash on top of normal coming in.
I'll have a good amount of ammo when the smoke clears.
