The people who lost any money investing in the S&P 500: [View all]
are those who invested from 12/19/19 through 2/24/20. Then they've lost some money on funds they invested between these dates. On paper. Any money they had invested before 12/19/19 is above water. 12/19/19 thru 2/24/20 were the only days in history when the S&P 500 was above today's 3194 close. (And this ignores dividends)
BTW, it's 5.7% below the Feb 19 all-time high of 3386 (still in "pullback" territory, which ranges from between 5% down and 10% down)
