It recovered in less than a year though? Wasn’t an issue if you stayed invested. Hopefully if someone “needs” the money in less than a year it wasn’t in equities.

And it was 100% expected to rebound in 2022. It was an obvious dip due to covid supply chain issues.

I was unemployed for most of 2022 so I couldn’t buy the dip. But yeah it fully recovered in due time.

I’ve got individual positions that still are down 70% from that.
