So generally speaking a minimum of ~20% loss for the entire portfolio, more depending on what else you might have money in. QQQ/Nasdaq has been doing much worse, and that's without venturing into individual picks, some of which have been absolutely hammered.
Beat me to it. I always check a bond funds duration value before investing. Mostly hold short term and ultra short term funds but it’s still been painful to watch.
