RE:Fed Wednesday and the aftermathDepends what you fear. If it is FOMO then it's not so much fear as repressed greed. If you fear that you will not be able to put a roof over your head or food on the table, then you were unwise to put your money where it was at risk, and should have gone into CDs. Figure out how much money you need from your investments to augment whatever other income you have (salary or pensions), divide it into what capital you have and start worrying for real when the money runs out!
