Academics: if you have a TIAA-CREF pension invested mostly in an index-tracking fund, & you're worried that the Covid-19 pandemic will keep hurting stock values, it's easy to 'change investments' online into the 'money market' (cash) option.

  Seems like a lot of scientists (whether by trade or at heart) have been concerned since at least the 3rd week of February. Wonder how many hedged their bets and are in a better position in the market than most?

  I think a reflective analysis of this mistake is owed. Every single stock in the sp500 is up since the day of this post. An over 40% rally that puts 2020 buy+holders up on the year. Timing the market is impossible, the market is more efficient than any one actor in it. Thoughts?

  People don't understand that, on average, inertia applies to stocks. A stock going down for a considerable period is more likely to continue going down than up.

  Now is the absolutely worst time to stop dollar cost averaging into index funds in your retirement accounts. The “buy low” part of the long term strategy of “buy low sell high” is NOW.

  It’ll tank further... once every state and province (Canada) goes on lockdown.
