Wall Street sell-off turns 'ugly' as US recession fears grow

I think this is a unique situation because the recent moves (in my opinion) are largely a result of everyone's uncertainty around America's policies.

In other words, the recent stock moves aren't because we're seeing a bunch of companies fail to miss quarterly targets. There are no major economic indicators flashing red.

If stocks can drop that fast in a couple weeks, they can also (hopefully) rise just as fast, especially if the catalyst was some poorly timed or thought out US policy decisions. (Although there's a non-zero chance that the president continues down this road and just ignores the stock market in the short-term, which I find terrifying, along with everyone else on wall street I presume)

I'm not generally 100% equities, often 80/20, so things will be rebalancing on their own at least at least:

I have a few more decades until retirement, so buying low now would be nice.

With higher rates the monthly price is higher too which is contributing to un-affordability. But if rates go down then monthly payment prices would go down, which would cause prices to go up.

If rates go down because there's a substantial recession home prices may go down but many people may be out of jobs or unwilling to sell.
