I didnt have much to begin with only lost about 12k, I have nothing anyway. My mother lost roughly 100k in her retirement fund from all this crashing. My grandmother even more. How much have you lost in Trump’s Tantrum Tariffs game?
I bought European defense stocks so I get happy whatever he says.
Jokes aside about 30k maybe? Not sold anything and I did not care enough to check. Hopefully he does not get to stay in office for another 4 years. I’ll just buy more meanwhile.
Oh shit this is a great idea.

$155k, and it could have been worse.
I’m in the middle of closing on a house. I’ll let you know in 5 years.
As long as you don’t cave, the worst that will happen is you bought before the Depression 2.0 firesale. Your kids will be one of the few of their generation with access to a house. Congrats. Fuck you.
Not a penny. I dumped my meager stocks in November and I shit you not rolled them over into a bunch of nonperishable food
i am just starting on a fresh 401k account, i guess i got lucky, but people with decades worth of contributions must be swearing bullets
I’m swearing more than just bullets.
In January I moved all my 401k funds to a vangaurd stable fund which mostly invested in money markets. My 401k is somehow up from April 1st by a few %. Thinking of reallocating to take advantage of Trump’s inevitable reversal.
My guess is he will do it piecemeal as countries cave to his attempt at soliciting bribes. So the market as a whole wont recover all at once. When I see he is starting to reverse individual tariffs, that’s when I’ll do the reallocation. But until then I think there is more to lose.
Also I shorted Elmo and cashed out high enough to cover the losses on the rest of my portfolio. So somehow I didn’t get turbofucked by them this time.
It just sounds like you were ready for the fuckening. Good job honestly, mate. I dont have the funds as a freshly salaryman to be playing markets. But I saw the movements and if I had a spare dime I would have made it out of here still complaining but covered. I’ll never stop complaining until equality and equity are human pillars tho.
Nothing invested means nothing to lose! Never got to play the fucking game.
I’m down $7k, so far.
I should have bailed early, but the tax hit would have been just as bad.The market has given up about one year’s gain, so people who have held diversified portfolios for longer than that haven’t really "lost"anything.
Yet.
Since I’m not american, nothing that I know of
Actual numbers?
Approaching a half million.
That’s from two people’s combined lifetime efforts at saving for retirement. We max out our retirement contributions and live modestly, I have a mandatory retirement age by law, and we can only hope that the markets will return our savings by then.
For the record, it’s shitty that people’s retirements are tied to the stock market.
401(k) plans never meant to be a complete retirement plan. Where does that leave future retirees?
I read somewhere and can’t find it anymore, but up to 40% of the stock market value is comprised of peoples’ retirement savings or plans.
So you can see how devastating this stock market decline could be if it gets worse, on top of all the issues with jobs it will cause.
$25k and climbing but thankfully that’s pretty much all in my retirement and I’m not touching it for several more decades.
Nothing because I am a poor and don’t have stock
At about 10k or so
