It is no surprise to anyone here that the world economy is in a rough spot right now. The S&P500 and MSCI world are down 10%, trade wars are developing and fears of a recession are extremely high. It feels like this will finally be the end of the US dollar/the stock market. But is that really the case?
The grand majority of investors invest in an ETF for a reason. As long as the economy grows, your wealth will grow with it. As long as you keep investing and putting money into it, your wealth will grow over time. Many people seem to either have forgotten this premise, or to actually be thinking the economy is doomed forever.
My 2 cents are: it isn't. No matter how bad the economy is doing, companies aren't going anywhere. Economic growth isn't going anywhere. Keep buying, keep holding, and in 5/15/25 years this will all be long behind us.
