The Bear Mauls the Bull?

Well, everything appears to be going pear-shaped:

TL;DR: Stocks are falling on trade war fears and a possible international slowdown, causing a yield curve inversion which means everybody freaks out.

Thoughts, monkeys? Personally, since most of my (meager, I am a student) investments are in total market funds, I plan to cut back on spending and double down on contributions to my regular and tax-advantaged accounts.

I thought I saw a bear maul a bull once. Turns out it was a couple of hairy men having intercourse in the bushes at the city park. Nature is a frightening beast.
