Welp, I guess I'm part of the problem...

The stocks finally hit hard today so I pulled out almost everything into my savings acct and left about 5 stocks in thye folio if I wanna go back an reinvest...if things turn around.

But I realized, I'm one of how many people that are doing the same thing? No wonder the market is spiraling into oblivion... Funny, I told me kid today that it's not gonna look like 1929. All the $$ is digital now...so instead of people runnng on the banks, we're just watch8ing the numbers go wild. It's sucjh an illution, but it's "real" money. Real losses.

I'm down to $13K ...(my fucking ex took me for everything my folks left me. I wish I couold sue for restitution. How does abuse, like financial abuse, not have legal ramifications. It is basically extortion.)

Anyway, good thing my business and new direction is taking off like a jet plane, hopefully I can make a go of it in these weird times...
