Back in early 2020 when we had that very short market crash, I responded by selling most of my shares, aiming to protect my capital based on historical wipe outs of the share market. As we now know, that was a quick downturn followed by a massive upturn. My estimate is selling when I did cost me $500k in lost profits (mostly from RAC & CMM. I'm now unable to even look at anything remotely related to RAC. I sold a 100k at 28c!)
So this time around.... I'm unsure what to do. Do I sell and miss the profits? Or if I hold, will this be the real crash? Any STT thoughts on this? Is it a March 2020 crash, or a GFC crash? It's worth noting - I think there will be a few traders in my position that aren't selling out this time based on their 2020 experience. How / will that change in behaviour impact a downturn?

I'm going to spend today reassessing and maybe choosing a few to sell. Might come down to a coin toss!

I don’t know how the market crashes with rates this low…..
where do you put your money. Even with a 100 basis point rise, it’s still beats bond yields.
my guess Is the market will sell off each rate rise then rally.
all bets are off if the Ruskies go in.
a flat 2022 with commodities to out perform…..is my guess
