I wasnt aware you had a crystal ball that could predict how long market downturns would last

fiduciaries would tell you that while they have no crystal ball, the longest bear market in american history lasted about two years and a 401k is designed to be drawn down from for a much longer period than two years.

i'll tell you that the current downturn has lasted about two weeks and is part of standard annual volatility; the present drop is less than the drops we had over equivalent time periods in 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018

so like

@Paragon21XX was being extremely intellectually dishonest and the point of my post was to ridicule the mindset that every twist and turn of the stock market directly impacts people who trade equities approximately once per year
