>up about 500% doing literally nothing but buying and holding most of the stuff and trading about 15% of account.
Kids today (the same ones screaming this will be a crash and panicking) have only ever known the golden bull market. They don't realize that not to distant in the past, 10% per year, consistently, was considered doing pretty well. Good on your 500% gains, bro. The kids will learn soon enough. Everyone's a genius in a bull market

Trump in 6 minutes making an announcement.

As harrowing as this is right now, I honestly think we will generally forget about this dip by Spring

>The world will end so who cares!!!

Faggots have been saying this for 150 years. This is really just an excuse. I second the Air Force suggestion by teh Anon above me. Get a job that will translate to the real world. I did Artillery in the Marine Corps because I thought it would be fun (it was), but I got not applicable training except a desire not to work for someone else. I started my own business and now do well enough that I can save a little money every month and put it into ETFs and make money overall. Life is pretty comfy for me, but you have to sacrifice a tiny bit to get somewhere you want to be. Everyone has shit going on, you'll be ok.

Yeah, in 40 minutes or so. I'm hoping for some surprisingly good news to slow things down a bit and let us all take a breather. I'm sure he knows we need it. Dems would be only too happy to say that his economy sucks at the debate stage in October
