i sold nothing thru the pandemic, re-invested all dividends, new typical money in retirement contributions, moved some cash holdings into mutual funds and individual stocks on a weekly basis--didn't try to time anything
i got hit hard but it bounced back really really good
of course the same friends that begged me to sell during the great recession were the same ones begging me to sell during the pandemic, the reasoning was it's different this time....idk...it's always different this time...that's their answer to every downturn
basically, i make excuses to buy and they make excuses to sell
