The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“How far did these things drop in the dot-com bust, GFC and Covid?”

I see QQQE was not around yet in GFC times, but it dropped about 32% in 2021 for whatever reason and about 30% during Covid.

Looks like RSP dropped around 57% from highs in 2007 to 2009, and around 32% during Covid. Man, it’s been so long since the GFC I forgot about the pain of those 50% drops.

And yeah, I had some cash and big plans to buy during the GFC, but I mostly chickened out.

“ Well that sent me down a “Notes from the Circus” rabbit hole, so thanks, I think...“

Haha. Right.
