You only lose if you sell. So I haven’t lost anything.

This is the only strategy.

If I was smart I'd have switched my index to a global or overseas one. Then back after Tusk crashes the market. Which they did.

Have a world wide index fund. Just keep contributing. Does not matter what’s going on.

Yeah but don't touch your shit until it bounces back. Touch it now and you're selling low when you bought high.

You lose if you sell or if Trump fucks up the economy enough to completely wipe out many businesses (such that their stocks go to zero/get delisted).

Frankly, given the real possibility of (a) the US becoming a Russia/Iran/North Korea-style pariah state or (b) the MAGA fascists triggering a civil war, that could actually happen.

Remember, This. Is. Not. Normal. The usual economic assumptions do not take into account this sort of sovereign risk, and thus may not actually apply.
