    If you have a few $ under the mattress today gents is your day to make a few bucks on the stock market. On the other side of the coin if you have some super try not to look at the balance today. Going to be a bloodbath....thanks China for the Corona Virus

    I would leave it for a day or two, just to get a feel if it has bottomed out.
    Lucky that super has had a bumper year, so we can handle a loss and still be in front.

    Yesterday was the worst single day loss for the last three months. Your totally correct that this comes on the back of record highs, but they were all lost yesterday during trade. The dow lost 1031 points this morning meaning we will open very low.

    You'll only lose money if you sell while it's down. It will all go back up again, and in the meantime my super payments get more bang for buck while the market is low.

    The plans of 'mice and men'. Now where the fuck did that saying come from?
    I packaged out in 2014, with a very nice stipend ( being the adjective, 'allowance' after near 30 years service to the one company, witha year of long servitude thrown in, plus monies for every year service, plus blah blah.
    I've been taking 100 K a year out of my super for the last 5 years
    I'm now near broke. Fuck that went quick, but thats life. Shoulda inveasted in a new body as i have to work till I drop. Matter a fact if I new I was going to live this long I woulda looked after myself better.
    I'm sure your aware it can become a 'bad habit' when you stop working. having a plan is the idea, I had very bad financial direction given to me. 
    Fuckit is only money.
    Who can realiably predict the direction of the market, super schemes have been flowing well for a few years now. But...

    That ain’t necessarily so. 
    Your Super can have negative returns where your balance goes down to the extent you have less than your opening balance and in retirement (like me) that can impact your income.
    With shares (well the right ones) the capital value of the shares may drop but you still receive your dividend (income). So for my worst performing shares in terms of capital value, ie they’ve dropped the most, I’m still receiving an average of 8.04% return on my original investment it never goes negative as it can with Super. It only hurts if you have to sell the shares when they’re low. 
    Nothing’s perfect so yeah, confess I use Super but I reckon holding a mix of investments is best.
    Just don’t buy shares as a short term investment.
    Oh yeah, when shares go down, so do most Super balances.

    Yeah, I guess Ross could have an investment option that doesn't include exposure to shares, but these seem to give only a 3% or so return, still beats cash.
