Lost about 2% of our retirement accounts this week

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

7. 2% isn't that much, but as someone else has pointed out,

you might want to take a close look at exactly how and where your money is invested.

Even though on average stocks rise 10% a year, they also have down years.

I keep on reading that a 50/50 mix of stocks and bonds is actually too bond heavy, even for a retired person.

Anyway, my point is that there will come a time when the market will drop a whole lot, although it will then recover after a while. None of us look forward to that drop, but the best way to think about it when it happens is as a buying opportunity.
