What is your investment horizon and when do you plan to buy back in?

Also did you take a huge take hit to reallocate to bonds or was it all in tax advantage accounts? Seems more crazy to sell all equities when you have to pay tax on the gains.

What will happen in the market if Trump keeps blinking and folds further, congress takes back the tariff power, Trump loses big in the midterms, GOP loses big in 28, AI ends up being a big thing, etc?

You will eventually have to buy back in and you don't know where the bottom is.

Speaking entirely to retirement accounts. Taxables are pretty much screwed either way.

Maybe I will miss some growth. But watching my life's work evaporate on this wild ride is too much to stomach.

Indeed, and I don't intend to time it. Not waiting for a rebound. Waiting for sanity.
