Market Crash Survivor
A crash is coming. Choose how much of your portfolio sits in stocks, month by month, and see how your goal changes the right answer.
Frequently asked questions
Should I sell when the market crashes?
It depends on when you need the money. For long-term goals, selling after a fall often locks in losses and misses the recovery. For money needed soon, holding less in stocks beforehand protects the goal.
What is diversification?
Spreading money across different kinds of investments, such as stocks and bonds, so one setback hurts less. It tends to reduce the size of falls, at the cost of some growth.
Why does the game change each day?
Some days you need the money in a year and some days in decades, and each calls for a different mix. The crash depth and recovery time also vary.
Is this financial advice?
No. It is an illustrative simulation, not a prediction. Real crashes differ and some recoveries take much longer.
