How much are you down this year?

Update
Now -7.8% for the year, my kid's TFSA is -0.8% thanks to me selling the S+P 500 index and buying GLD.

A lot of people who bought gold early this year are doing very well.

Trump capitulated twice, 90 delay on the tariffs and the electronics exemption for Chyna. The threat of liberation is no longer as high.

The US and Canada are probably in a technical recession so it is not a great time to invest but it sure beats investing during a liberation.

I hear the Treasury market is getting wrecked, so even if Trump croaks right now another round of ass pounding with no reach around could still happen.

nearly 2 years of gains erased thus far this year. Unrealized losses in the 7 figures (nine figures if we count decimal place!).
I've been in the markets for a pretty long time as a value investor, so theres a pretty healthy income stream coming in; if this bullshit drags out long enough to actually affect fundamentals, and possible dividend cuts, I'll probably still be ok
Have been an active buyer since last Thursday, psychologically challenging as just about everything I bought, at EXCELLENT prices on Thursday, are already down 6-8%. Makes me think that maybe I'm losing my touch, as that rarely happened in the past.
Every online bullion dealer that I've used over the past few years is pretty much out of stock these days of the items I used to buy. Prices dropped a bit, I think theres been a lot of selling to cover margin calls on equities, pushing bullion prices down, and smart money is jumping on physical bullion at these sale prices.
Despite all this, I'm buying either a new Cadillac XT6 or Genesis GV80 in early May. Quality luxury at reasonable prices, IMO.
Stay calm and carry on

Some decent recoveries thus far; used this as an opportunity to average down where possible (and practical), also took on a few new positions, mostly in Cdn energy, and mostly in anticipation that someone in Ottawa will finally start to develop us into the energy superpower we could & should be.
Remember, there's investing, and there's trading.......if you don't know the difference between them, you shouldn't be doing either!
More importantly, bought new car today!
