Everybody thinks they know when to buy the dips, nobody actually does.

Go play this game 100 times and let me know your scores, I bet you'll win far less than 50% of the time.

I plowed $600,000 into the market from Jan-April of 2021. As it went down, I kept buying. It required nerves of steel, but I did it.

But, I agree with your point -- time in the market does beat timing the market.

I dumped about $100K between Jan 2021 - June 2021. No complaints

I’m holding like $6K in Vanguard waiting to buy VTSAX when sht pops off. I mean we’re definitely due for a correction.

Your post reminds me of certain people who were around in 2007, who were already cash strapped, but who took out a interest only loans to buy overvalued property to rent, because “the market only goes up”.

Read up buddy. Maybe stocks are a little overvalued right now. Maybe Evergrande could be an issue. Maybe there is residual Covid hangover, but sure the market never falters. Tulips always go up in price in Holland. Peace.

NP, but of course the market will go down at some point. If you think that point is now, I assume you are all in on a short position. Beyond that, the market does increase in an average year; by a lot. Your point appears to be that there's a variance around that average. I agree! But this variance has nothing to do with the expected return in a given year.

dp - original pp was talking about a correction. you are talking about annual return in a given year.

That there will be a correction at some point in the future doesn't affect the expected return in a given year.

The fed notes today hinted that the fed is thinking about unwinding its huge balance sheet. The rate hikes are expected, but if the fed also starts dumping bonds it could get very painful.. the last time Powell increased rates and reduced the balance sheet it was in 2018, and the market dipped 20%.
