Just opened my portfolio for the first time today.

When the market started to crash I was heavily following this sub and I can’t underestimate the amount of comments that said “if you don’t need the money right now, don’t worry about the stock price”. As the majority of my portfolio is SPY, Amazon, Google, Nvidia ( I’ve got some others as well) I decided it was best to just not open my trading app. I opened it for the first time today and I’m actually up from where I was before this correction. Now who knows, it may go up and it may go down, but the important thing is that I didn’t panic sell which saved me a few thousand dollars. I just wanted to give a thanks to all those who’ve drilled it into my head that sometimes the market goes up and sometimes it goes down. If it’s a long term play and you believe in the company don’t worry about the price today!
