    I was in the process of reducing the risk in my funds when the pandemic started which added impetus to the process which led to selling at a low point in some cases and my annual returns are a non impressive 3.5% but I'm comfortable with my lower risk funds with my septuagenarian profile and not concerned that I significantly trail others on this board.
    Trailing anyone is not an issue so long as your comfortable in your own skin (investments suit your profile)

    No one foresaw the events of last year. What rises quickly, can easily fall. There's some very high valuations out there. Not just the US major caps either. Although that's where the main focus is.
