I am just afraid of getting caught with my pants down like last time. When I can buy at a much lower price point

Most important thing I learned about investing a long time ago, is NEVER react to the market...
Have a plan and stick to it...

I've seen some significant growth over the last few years like most, but he's got tariffs set to hit until December 2025.
The tariffs for Europe haven't even hit, and that's projected to have a 25% impact on the U.S. market. If an additional 10% on China did this, I can't imagine what additional tariffs on Canada and Mexico would do in addition to Europe.
I've lost about 5% on my portfolio the last 3 weeks. Should I move my money to a less volatile fund? I'm not changing my contributions, just the balance. I never understood why people didn't "read the room" and leave their money to tumble. I moved my money during covid and only loss 2% while others loss over 50%. My concern is knowing when to move my balance back to my current strategy. My other concern is moving this money and the market rebounding, but I don't see it happening this year with the tariffs and countries have already vowed to retaliate, so wtf is that gonna look like smh.

Speaking for myself, it's days like today. Markets change too quickly and I always wind up burning myself trying to play these games and rather just let my money sit. I will be upfront and say I liquidated 20% of my portfolio in January (standard protocol for me during any administration change), but I really think my crystal ball is broken and I'd wind up burning myself selling too low and buying too high if I exited all my positions and tried to time a lower price based on how I guess things will shake out.
And I could be wrong altogether and this administration does some weird shyt to keep the markets afloat and then I really just played myself.

I feel you! I feel kinda silly exiting some of my positions. By today or tomorrow, I am going to jump back in $SOFI but things were looking quite grim the past two-three weeks weeks. I will just leave cash on the sidelines to DCA down.

Trump Suddenly Grants Tariff Exemptions After Massive Blowback
Donald Trump is already pausing some of his tariffs.
Part of me feels like he is manipulating the market for financial gains.

I feel similar. In my case, I learned from 2021/2022 not to buy into stocks for quick flips. Back then I was buying hundreds of shares to snag a $3 win. If it dropped, I'd be bag holding or taking a loss. Now I just DCA for the most part. 80% blue chip / 20% speculative. I've spent a lot of time building up my AAPL and MSFT positions so selling out and starting over isn't something Im interested in. If I do throw money at a stock for covered calls / cash secured puts - Its something I wouldnt mind owning.
my retirement funds and small side portfolio got slaughtered. I got a IPO prospect in my sights tho, hopefully it pays off after this reckoning.
Yea, for me I switched up my approach recently
After bag holding sofi forever I decided to explore options/leaps. Example, before everything tanked I dabbled in several 1/16/26 option calls for Grab (60 calls - $6.9k cost), ACHR (25 - $7k), RKLB (10 -$4k), and more Sofi but for 3/20/26 (25 - $6.7k).
These are all options that I’m open to exercising/don’t necessarily want to sell but I didn’t want to fully commit to just yet like I did with SoFi. Still an inherent risk if ish don’t improve 10-12 months from now but capped losses and nothing I’m uncomfortable in losing since I didn’t buy the actual thousands of stocks (yet).
Only thing I’m thinking now, with all this red is if to double down with even more option calls.
