I just did it. I knowingly sold low after buying high. Why? Because I only have 15 years to retirement….

I have this sinking feeling like this recession isn’t like the others. I jumped out knowing I was realizing my losses, but the risk of total annihilation of our economies is too uncomfortably high for me.

I know it’s an emotional response, and if I miss out on the upswing, I promise I won’t regret it. Getting out now is going to help me sleep at night with an acceptable and known loss. I do hope the rest of you all win!!

Wanted to explain to you die hard investors (who are statistically right) why people like me don’t take the trusted advice.
