Never put all your eggs in one basket. Meaning never have more than 10% of your money in any one stock. The SP 500 is right now just 2% over it's Jan. 2018 high. The 20% profit people have is only if they invested that money after the 20% Dec. 2018 fall any money invested before that correction is 2% or less return. Jan.2019 was 20% lower than the 2018 high.

2018 high 2930 2019 open 2510 low 2447 high 3240 2020 low 2954 So it just comes down to when you invested.
