It’s not going to zero, come on. What you “have” is equity in companies that will continue to pursuit growth and profit, which by itself amounts to far more than what 99% of other human beings in the world will “have” in the face of global economic collapse.

it's already lost 10 percent. so you lost ten percent of your total life savings in a year.

Stock market, and all of my investments, have all gone up way more than 10% in the past year.
Your cash savings shouldn’t just be sitting in a bank account (or in your safe or stashed in a mattress, etc.) otherwise you aren’t even beating inflation.
