I took the Equity part of my retirement portfolio and parked it in money market for now.
A few weeks ago I moved 75% of my grandson's 529 plan to cash and have maintained 65% cash/35% stocks in my taxable and retirement portfolios.

I'm thinking about doing some bottom fishing at some point, but the market is on track for another 2-3% loss today. I'm guessing more investors will be heading for the exits going into the weekend.

I have a theory that the Fox News watchers just started waking up yesterday.
 
How? Fox removed the stock market ticker, so most are probably wondering what change on the screen. It's not like fox is going to actually report what's happening.
There is the cohort of Fox News watchers who have a lot of money and keep an eye on the markets. Those people likely remained clueless until the markets actually started crashing.
 
On one of the prediction threads, I predicted (this was prior to Inauguration Day, iirc) that we would be buying stocks at a discount.
I want to retire in 10 - 12 years (sooner if I can swing it). I’m holding steady.
 
An interesting aspect to the market turmoil is bitcoin holding steady over the past few days. I have a small amount of Bitcoin but do hold some MicroStrategy as my exposure to crypto.
