Honestly that was hardly even a bounce when you look at how much it’s down in the last couple of weeks.

Not according to some. I read earlier today that we have a long way to fall before we sustain a floor.

My mutual fund went up .01c today. Better than loss, I suppose.

There will always be a Debbie Downer in the group, but we've seen this too many times before. News story elicits an irrational knee jerk reaction, followed by a slow climb back up the mountain.

I seriously don’t give one 5h/t about China.
i just calculated my gains since 1/18 (through 7/31/19) and it still adds up to a pretty substantial amount of money. some of that has been lost since but not a lot.

Most of my money is in tech stocks like VGT and it's up 25% since 1/18.

Well of course. I wasn’t referring to “ Debbie Downers”. There are many financial “experts” that are predicting greater losses before the climb back. Obviously there is a point where the recovery starts. Where that will be is the question.

Good for you. I have a balanced portfolio so not the case for me.

Obviously you have a differently balanced portfolio than I. My Roth account balance, right now, is lower than it was Jan 8 2018. There are some very small gains in my other accounts, but really it’s quite close.
