Every time I'd mention the market went down, my father would tell me it's not a loss until you sell.

That’s exactly right. I’m holding a ****load. But it’s less than 30% of all my stocks.

If you own quality, its an opportunity to buy more. If its ****, then sell and take your lumps

Or don’t invest with money you are afraid to lose.

If it was that easy, the market would have already done it. Its a brutal, time intensive and very expensive process, and most banks will not do construction loans anyway.

IMO: The play off this is likely large banks like Bank of America, Citi, and Cap One. On the digital side, PayPal/Venmo, Square, Adyen, Stripe, and other payment service platforms.
