ELI5: Why not sell before a market drop?
I know you can’t be certain of a market drop, but let’s say the writing is on the wall. I sold ~10k on March 28 from a taxable account that I have held for over a year. Since then I have seen a lot of comments about how you shouldn’t …

I’m a foreign investor, and this time, the market downturn genuinely scares me. in the past, every time the market dropped, people would say, “This time is different,” and panic. But eventually, the market recovered and climbed higher. But this time, what Trump is doing feels like he’s trying to …
