If that's the case, you shouldn't be invested in stocks.

Even if that wasn't the case, I can't really see a strong reason to be invested in stocks now.
In it for the long run

If you're in it for the long run, cash is probably the best position to be in right now.

That's true in all aspects of life.

That being said, could you kindly explain how "being in it for the long run" works with the risk/reward potential of stocks at this point?

To make the point about the risk/reward profile at this point, I heard someone pointing out this morning that unlike Tariffs, Brexit, and other risks that the market faced in the past year or two, which had some kind of a defined resolution one way or the other, with COVID-19 there are simply too many unknown risks out there. IMHO the prudent thing to do is to stay on the sidelines. If one has some losses, holding onto them in hopes of recovering might end up in a painful lesson. Regardless of the current COVID-19 risk, the market was in place for a correction. If you read John Hussman's market commentary you will find that the reward profile for many assets over the next 10 years is extremely low.

Usually don't care/look. But couldn't help it when losing 10s of 1000s in a matter of hours. Still didn't sell though cuz...in it for the long run.

Unfortunately, I won't be retiring until quite a few decades from now. If I sell on every dip, well you can finish that off...

Just don't put in any money you don't want to lose.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Well, as I pointed out before, this isn't just "a dip".

I would recommend you educate yourself a little bit about P/E ratios and future returns. Hussman has been writing about this for longer than I can remember, but for a simpler shorter read you can try https://fsinvestments.com/learn/articles/PE-ratios I also highly recommend reading Richard Russel's timeless article https://www.mauldineconomics.com/images/uploads/pdf/mwo041406.pdf

Definitely going to dip more, but i wouldn't advise anyone to stop investing in their 401K if they are 5 years removed from retirement.
