Afaik, he's still out. He's (rightfully) not convinced that Trump isn't going to cause more problems. He's probably up about 0.75% and has had no downside risk. I'm down about 0.75% and assumed a bunch of risk. There were some drip/dpp transactions that happened in the interim so I have more shares than when he liquidated. I was going to borrow to invest a bunch if I was down 20%. I never got there before the bounce.

Yep, this is where I'm at.

I've been sleeping well not having to stress about it. Yeah, I could have bought the dip and rode the wave, or I could havre bought the dip and dear leader might have said something dumb 24 hours later and I could have ended up down again. Not worth the stress.

And yeah, I'm still not convinced there's not more upheaval to time. A lot of the economic damage being inflicted on the US economy right now isn't going to start coming out of the woodwork in the numbers util the weeks and months ahead.

Things aren't great but aren't as bad as they were still down over six figures on the year but whatever

That's what happens when you have tons invested. If you were like the average investor with much less in, you lose less.

My portfolio is +/- even relative to 6 months ago, even though i'm drawing an income, but that's after doing some rebalancing to reduce cross-border risk. I don't think the cross-border risk is all in yet, either.

Well thanks to this thread I went to check my 6 month average and 1 year ... basically 0% difference b/w the 2 times.

Only drops were when I took money out for other expenses from my TFSA.

So...doing nothing was effectively the right call for me.

You're even from a year ago? That's not ideal. I'm roughly even over the last three months (-0.5% now) but way up over 12 months. It's not easy for me to see rolling 1 yr return but eyeball average is something like +20% 1 year ror.

I’m even after taking out 20k…so I would’ve been up without that.

Same. Though a bit less then 20%

TSE matched all time high today.

I'm going to sit on the sidelines a bit longer. Like I said earlier, I don't think this is all over yet. Markets tend to be perpetually optimistic in these sorts of situations we're in right now when good news comes along, until they're not. The china-tarriffs-are-off (kinda sorta) rally was big, but everything could change tomorrow, or tonight for that matter.
