I'm did what any smart person should have done and liquidated all my winners right after the election, with the last being Delta at $69 like a couple of months ago (where I got lucky, since they basically topped out there). It's like half of that now.

Only stocks I held onto were already underwater.

Very luckily bought a new car a year and some months ago, and built a new PC and got a new OLED TV after the election. Saw the writing on the wall.

WASHINGTONWarning that Americans should brace themselves for an economic period of transition, President Donald Trump told reporters Monday that a recession would be an unfortunate but necessary step on the way to all-out depression. Look, what were doing is very big and will cause some pain, but that pain is necessary to cause total economic collapse, Trump said during a press conference, adding that while his decision to implement billions of dollars in tariffs on foreign imports and fire 20,000 federal workers could cause a temporary disturbance, Americans would ultimately emerge much, much worse for it. Things might be bad for a little while, but were okay with that, because we know that in the end these policies will drive markets into a deadly tailspin and push the economy to a point of no return. Trust me. Some hardship now will only make your bank accounts more empty in the long run. If everything goes right, none of you will be able to afford food, housing, or retirement ever again. At press time, many of Trumps most vocal defenders stressed that they trusted the president to usher in the greatest depression the nation had ever seen.

Most people didn't need to do that unless they needed the money in the near-term. While past results are not indicative of future performance, most stocks will likely recover eventually.

I was on the same page with making big purchases before the new administration though; I got a gaming laptop, a synthesizer and a car last year.

Sure, but why would anyone hold? Who know how long it'll take them to rebound, if ever - plenty of Covid low-point stocks never recovered, for various reasons. And while I was lucky and bought like $50k in the dip for April 2020, it took some until late last year to get back to their pre-Covid norms.

We have no idea how long this trade war will go on for, what the lasting damage will be, etc. So there's little to gain by bag-holding ones that were in the black. If anything, sell, and but the dips now. You can even just get the same stocks again, but will have made money doing so.

Although personally, I wouldn't recommend buying the dips now. We likely haven't seen the bottom of this at all yet.

Smart people saw the writing on the wall, dumped and are now re-buying at a cheaper price, hence the small rebound.

If you sold 100 delta shares at $69 and they're half the price you now have 200 shares. It's the most basic strategy buy low sell high.

edit: but if you needed a new car and pc then that's also a smart move. you gotta sort yourself out first we're not all hedge funds.

DCA doesn't make sense when we knew a market crash was imminent, and will continue to crash for the foreseeable future.

DCA is just "safe" investing that helps take individual decision making out of buying stocks, and helps hedge against volatility. But this isn't volatility. Years of gains have been wiped out in a week.

Numbers still net positive but a lot less right now. European stock markets were closed when the tariff pauses were announced, so those will robably have an impact on opening values tomorrow. It's all day by day though and my stocks are long term and deliberately boring ones. I'm not particularly fussed.

Amsterdam AEX dropped sharply on opening Monday and rose sharply on opening today. To us long termers, essentially nothing happened.

My stocks are currently up to $260k and it looks like some more RSUs vested. Market is doing great for me. Stocks are +38% over the past 6 months but aren't at their 6 month high.
