Investors are looking for a way out of stocks, meaning hoping for a bounce, and that's why every UP day is followed by a down day. Growth securities are decimated, and that includes tech, chips, and mid-caps. Small caps generally have poor or no earnings, and are dependent on capital markets or debt for liquidity, they also in the tank. I feel like nothing is safe. Where do you go? Are FDIC and SIPC still in existence? Even blue chip cyclicals are pounded, I'm thinking of food - ConAgra, Kraft Heinz - and Walmart. If tariff policy is not ended quickly, we will suffer from this for 15 years. Supply chains, wages, workers, inflation, a soft legal system - we're doomed. I don't say this lightly. My advice continues, analyse the products you need repeatedly, consumables, and stockpile what you can afford. 3-5 years is not an inordinate precaution. They will either cost more, or be entirely unavailable at any price. Particularly obscure replacement parts.
