I'm 38 so I'm a long term investor through my Roth IRA. I was at $122,000 with about $80,000 cost over 12 - 15 years. I think cost basis is the term. I put the $5500 limit year after year. Pulled it a couple of days ago. Then bought back in and currently down $21,000. $12000 just today. I have $99,000 now. I'm not selling obviously as "stonks only go up". I actually have another $3000 in my savings account that I don't need to live on but I'm trying to get in at the bottom even though that is obviously unpredictable. I just don't think people stopped panicking yet and I want the lowest price possible.
I like these panic modes for my retirement since I got more money to invest and plenty of time. Life is good.
I tried to post a picture of my portfolio (sensitive info blocked out) but you can't here
