It's going to keep going. Don't worry!
For the "hoLD tO ThE mOOn" crowd: sell now, realise your diminishing day by day gains, buy back in once the madness stops. Don't be foolish.
If you truly believe the US market is going to go back up; put your money where your mouth is! Buy more at the lower price.
I'm tempted to sell my VWRP in my ISA. Only at a £50 loss currently but the market is now closed. Might sell first thing tomorrow and wait and see what happens. I've about £3.4k invested in it which is a useful amount to have if something house wise breaks!
Well it is his favourite word..
Might be an idea before that turns in to £2.4k shortly. At this point you're probably better off in cash or a money market fund getting 5%.

Not so quick. Ukraine, crease fire could turn the market position and that makes sense as I just sold.
You never know, but it's just so volatile at the moment. I think the tariffs will play a bigger part than a 'maybe' ceasefire.
Yep. If tariffs persist they will affect earnings and profitability negatively and even after this small dip the US market is still pretty much priced for perfection so tariffs matter a lot more in the medium term IMO.
I agree, the tariffs are going to be more impactful. And Trump hasn't even begun on the EU yet. When that kicks off expect another slump on top of the one we're now facing. Unless the Russia-Ukraine war is brought to a definitive end, I can't see any news relating to that bringing much, if any, relief to the stock market.

right now there really isnt a "right" choice, just the "choice" your comfortable with.
i think the next stage im going for is assessing what stocks / trackers to go back to and have a plan end of year.
i see Trump has allowed intel and support again-inverified at this time

Not sure what the panic is - we are barely in correction territory. S&P500 has lost 8% - it's not that unusual.
I still think this is all part of the Trump plan to get the Fed to cut rates faster. The US has 9 trillion of debt maturing this year and I bet they would rather be refinancing that at closer to 3% than the current 4.25%. That then paves the way for his tax cuts that he has promised and Wall Street hopes for. The only problem is that he overplays his hand on the tarriff thing. Nobody other than Trump thinks it's a good idea to start a trade war when global economies are all fighting debt / growth challenges.
Remember it can go up as quickly as it comes down!

If you are doing it then do it asap tomorrow morning because a hot CPI announcement tomorrow afternoon and the potential government shutdown on Friday could sink it into the red. I sold my VWRP at 116 on 6th Feb when it ticked green after the deepseek fallout, glad I did, but didn't stop me getting burned on other stocks
The problem with that is the inflation that come with tariffs as I don't see howUS industry can turn suppliers that fast and we would see that later down the line.

My entire portfolio is now just VWRP.
I'm leaving it well alone and continuing to buy monthly as usual.
Trying to time the market is not for me.

For the year, or YTD. Because YTD these are all negative a
It’s taken a complete battering like everything else and it’s fairly likely that it’ll give up the rest of it’s gains over the last year assuming this continues.
But 10-20% corrections happen every 1-2 years on average and 20%+ corrections every 6-7 years, so this one is long overdue.
It’ll recover and continue to grow in time. Even with this correction my portfolio is still up more than 50% since I moved everything into VWRP 4 years ago.
That might not sound particularly exciting for those of you that still play with single stocks but it suits me just fine. I’m more than happy to just continue accumulating for the next few years if this ends up being a prolonged downturn.
For the year. YTD it’s -6%.
