Well, the market has recovered from last nights drop. I think I will stick with my current rate of investing.

If you hold any stocks or ETFs in renewables or clean energy, do yourself a favor and just resist the temptation to take a look.

A broad based Mutual Fund, or established Blue Chip indexed fund should work well if you're in it for the long haul. Assuming we don't get into a trade war or a real hot war sooner or later.

All the risk is priced in right now, so it's neither good nor bad. Save for retirement as always.

A trade war would stoke a recession, but we don't know yet if that's coming and stocks are currently priced with that possibility in mind.
