    I'm stuck between thinking "there are going to be inflation, interest rate, and energy issues for a while, sell while you can" and "there are some nice discounts now, buy more." I'm not sure what to do right now.

    I would suspect if everyone is massively short then markets will go higher next week. We shall see.

    Timing the markets is more dangerous than buying and holding. Even if you sell now, how would you know when to step back in? You could miss out on a lot of gains by the time you start buying again. There’s a lot of money to be made in bear markets, if you stay the course.

    Of course I have no fear for things such as Microsoft or GM or Apple in the long term. I've still been buying SPY throughout this for example. But valuations on some stocks are insane, triple digit p/e on something like Square or Tesla for example. My fear is that they will maybe never see their previous valuations again, and it'll just be lost money when it could've been nice profits.

    Yeah that’s a good point.
