WSJ: Monday saw very heavy 401k trading- link
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 8th, 2025 11:57 AM Author: Chrome Ungodly Faggot Firefighter So probably millions of Americans sold their stocks at the worst possible time- the S&P was down 3.5 to 4.5 percent Monday morning until the fake news broke.
Retirement savers traded more in their 401(k) accounts on Monday than any day since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020.
People typically don't trade in their 401(k)s often, and the movement of money was a tiny share of assets. But it was almost 10 times the usual trading, and the fifth heaviest trading day since at least 1997, according to record-keeper Alight Solutions, which tracks a subset of the plans it administers.
Savers pulled money from U.S. stocks and target-date funds, and shifted into safer bond and money market funds.
Monday's trades include portfolio adjustments that savers made over the weekend, when many were digesting the market turmoil stemming from President Trump's tariff announcements. Those trades would have been executed Monday. |

|
Date: April 8th, 2025 6:20 PM Author: orange odious persian chad the emails they sent don't directly say not to, but the gist of the message is "don't change your strategy during market volatility"
they're implying you shouldn't sell during a downturn |

Date: April 8th, 2025 12:27 PM Author: hilarious deer antler Yup. Then the people who sold will still be holding cash as it rallies to the previous all time high (because they don’t trust the rally). Finally they’ll still be in cash as it reaches new highs because at that point they just have to wait for a new low so they don’t have to accept they lost a ton of upside. |

It is absolutely mind-blowing to read brilliant "you've been warned bud, now watch this drive!" financial calls like this from the very same smug know-it-all Quotemos who spent the last decade openly sneering at me for being a "retard" as I aggressively pushed BTC/ETH/SOL/TSLA.
Truly amazing stuff, very entertaining.
