Tariffs

Exactly!
All other countries are taking advantage of the US of A!
It is time put a stop on it.

Prices are going up, because immoral business people are taking advantage of the situation as well and increasing their prices.
Yep. It's simple, just don't buy if the price isn't right
 
coworker lost 30k yesterday and another guy in another department lost over 100 and both were looking to retire this year. today not gonna be any better. this **** is gonna get rough.
Why in the hell would someone looking to retire this year still have funds in a place that was bound to drop like a rock?

Don't have any statistics, but one theory is a large number of investors in 401k use the "date style" blended index funds.
For example something like Indexfund2025 for those retiring in 2025.
While these funds comprise 50% bonds they still have 30% US large Cap stocks and 20% Non-US equities.
The Bond portion of the fund held value, but the Large Cap stocks took a large hit and the non-US equities took a smaller loss.
The overall value of a blended fund which many considered "safe" or at least an appropriate level of risk for someone retiring this year still lost 5%.
For a million balance, a 5% loss is $50,000. :(
