Some of you guys have lost it. First of all, why do any of you care about the stock market so much? It's just one avenue of investing. There are plenty of investment opportunities outside of public equities if you really are looking to invest. Secondly, the stock market is not reflective of the market economy and how much money goes into your pockets. Would you rather your wages continually go up or have the stock market creep up a couple more points? The two are not typically complementary. Cheap labor drives profits. Profits drive stock prices.

Many of you are also overestimating the influence of quant funds. Sure, they can cause a flash crash but the sell off does continue for days and days. Everyone "knew" a correction was coming, but I've been hearing people saying that for years now.

I don’t blame anyone for pulling out if they’re not comfortable, like I posted early I was out mid late December for the most part.


The bulk of my portfolio is in private business stock, not publicly traded so I’m naturally limited to exposure anyway, and can’t push button buy/sell that.
I'm actually not doing anything, other than I may do my IRA contribution this week or next (which I'd already planned to do). Not worried about 401k loss. Though abruptly losing 5% is not an initially good feeling, it actually is good since I can buy in lower with future contributions. I have a good while before I'll be tapping that account.

Not sure which video but it's dead most days. Most jobs are gone to the HFTs, rest will probably leave soon as well. Depressing in all honesty.

If CNBC wasn't doing their thing and if the open/close wasn't held on the floor, it would probably not even be shown on TV anymore.

Yep

I dug up all that gold myself with my barehands from nothing through untold hardships, so don’t mind a bit or have any guilt enjoying it.

If you really believe it's falling then you simply buy the bear etf. Honestly it's a great long term play for when the real correction happens. I sincerely doubt it's now.

so you're assuming that 100% of the 90% of the population in the US are invested in equities?

Market's about as volatile as I've ever seen. The good news from all this is that there seem to be plenty of buyers on the downside so I'd say we have a pretty good support at 23.75k. If we fall below 23.5k I'll start to worrry a little.

I often give any managers I have struggling with personal finances one of his books, along with some of my new younger managers that are up-and-coming.

For certain people I thing Ramsay’s approach is too restraining for greatness.

So I’ll prob accidentally leave the best one out...

I’m normally get to know the person before I recommend one, and normally is one of my younger managers.

What’s good for you might not be what’s good for me.

There is value in reading several and then fit your life into what is best for you.

The key is you have to have a plan. whatever the plan is, and having a budget is a non-negotiable- it’s a must.

And then discipline/habit.


So one I’ll recommend, not directly related to personal finance - The power of habit by Charles Duhigg

https://www.amazon.com/Power-Habit-W.../dp/081298160X

I think Dave Ramsay’s Total money makeover is a good one for many people like above posters said.

Personal finance for dummies actually isn’t bad.

The richest man in Babylon by George S. Clason

The Behavior Gap: Simple Ways to Stop Doing Dumb Things with Money
https://www.amazon.com/Behavior-Gap-.../dp/1591844649



There are many more, and I will say each of these have some things I slightly disagree with or don’t follow.

In all honestly I think reading some biographies about great people you admire has more value.
