I'm not without apologetic feelings in my first post—it feels like I'm disrupting things in front of the feast table—but I have a fear of confrontation, so I'm going to share my opinion anyway.
1. My mother, who has only been saving for her entire 80 years of life, suddenly called asking to talk about us... She says stocks are going to be promising going forward, and asked if we should also invest in stocks.
2. As a typical retail investor who has rarely had profitable years even after 20 years of stock investing, now that I'm seeing profits, my eyes are going wild—should I pull money from my work living expenses? No, no borrowing for investment, no...
Everyone is saying everything will be fine, but the red numbers showing in my bank account feel so unfamiliar that I've been thinking about it carefully.
