As the title says we appear to be in the middle of a market crash (for those thinking Black Tuesday, Black Wednesday and such then those are more historical exceptions -- most crashes happen over a given period rather than all at once), with more to come when the current housing bubble pops, and are probably in a recession as well. Certainly nobody sensible is predicting sunshine and rainbows in the near term, and sometimes dark skies for longer than that.

Is "Sell in May and Go Away" more "Sell in April" this year for you?
Have you gone for alternative investments than simple indexes and nominally diverse exchange traded funds? Are you going for shorts or even puts on things? Bonds might not beat inflation (never mind the real inflation http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts https://www.kitco.com/news/2021-07-...n-now-is-really-13-5-and-will-get-higher.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/interactive/2022/rising-rent-prices/ . Your boring and basic consumer price index is a government provided thing, the government having inflation targets so one does tend to question the one policing themselves with CPI having many questions over it) but the returns on them are higher than money in a bank or markets, with future returns set to be more notable still (prices right now are somewhat low for some of them, which is odd to some which sees them sell out in the "bottom" of the market about when all the other places might well buy back in -- by law various financial institutions must hold certain amounts of government bonds or sometimes housing).
With cheap finance coming to an end (less in the way of money to grow companies, this being the growth stocks analysts talk about, comparing them to value stocks which are companies that might not grow much and just plug along) are you going for things that weather high inflation (looking at those charts for the US then while Nvidia might have lost you something like 33% year to date, with most tech also not doing much better and crypto largely following it, then much of the energy sector is up the same amount, or walmart seems to have provided that 8% some aim for in a year though again inflation is higher than that so still technically losing money) or even something crazy like art (all your favourite financial channels likely plugging such a thing, and last time around during the 2008 crash then speaking to antiques shops they could not keep anything in stock).
