Why is that hard to understand?

What else should i suddenly do with my money if i invested it in the stock market?

I mean srsly getting it out now to do nothing with it means losing money. If i invest long termish, even if corona hits hard, after it hit, live continues and the economy will recover.

We lost 2 years of stock market growth anyway. Thats a shit tone of money.

As bad as it sounds, the worst two things from corona are: people dying and business not conducted. People dying also means reduced cost for the economy due to less old people (more working people ratio) and less sick peole/health insurance costs after. The other thing might mean that we clear out unhealthy businesses. But who pays the bill? People who had money before probably. All others hit the base line of social security.

Lets see how it plays out. To be honest, i don't have a better idea and as i don't need to get it out now, i will keep it where it is.

And rallying it is because live goes on.

You are thinking like a small individual investor.

Many larger players are highly leveraged. They don't always have the option to ride the lows.

These players have wildly more influence over market prices than mom and pop investors who can ride crashes.

I thought it was the other way round. Mom and pop pull money out because they need to use it when the economy turns bad, big players can ride the wave because their everyday lives really aren't affected.

Is that then good for me that i can wait it out?

And what is with all those pension fonts etc.?
