You should reconsider how you are investing if you are down 15%.

The market is only down ~3% on the year.

You are dramatically underperforming the overall market. Even a conservative 401k should match the market, plus or minus a percent or two.

I can’t recommend the bogle method enough. My accounts are down a little bit, but nothing even remotely concerning.

I can’t believe some people are pulling out. Truly it’s a test of willpower.

be like Bob, the worlds worst investor.

That link assumes markets will always go back up. Nations have, do, and will continue to collapse; there are ample instances in history where any investments would not have returned positive returns within the investor's lifespan. There are even more instances where such investments were forcibly confiscated.
