I think what this all means the next crash is going to be brutal. Absolutely brutal. And a crash will happen eventually. It can happen this Monday or 15 years from now.

The biggest culprit in my humble opinion is the Federal reserve rate cutting mani in the post COVID era. And now we have a juiced up market hugging kissing policy. There is way way too much cash sitting in the sideline. Where is a this cash supposed to go? Back in the market.

Then you have the cultish VOO/VTI/VT/SCHD/whatever passive index DCA for life folks. These people are knee deep in the cult and will assist you if you say anything about passive investing.

Sorry but we live in an era of mass thinking and cult-like moves.

What is wrong with dollar cash averaging? I've been doing that for 25 years or so. How does that hurt anyone?

(I'm invested in vanguard 500 index fund and in an actively managed vanguard fund-- like in most cases, given the fees for the actively managed fund, the index seems to have done better over the long run.)

And did you mean to say that the cultist will "assist" folks? I imagine you must have intended a different word here-- why would you have a problem with people helping others?

PP here. I mean to say "assault" instead of assist. You are correct there is nothing wrong with DCA and VOO for life. The point I wanted to make was that because passive invest people will ALWAYS keep dumping money into the market no matter what. This is why the stock market has no choice but to keep having all time high after all the high. Yes it has work say for the past 50 years or whatever. But this makes the next crash more and more worse.

But the reality is I don't know sh**t. I'm just guessing. And nobody in there right mind should follow my advice. I have been ACTIVELY investing as opposed to passively over the past 10 years. And currently I am up 2% YTD.

Gotcha! Thanks for following up! I’m learning a lot.

I increased my 401k contributions. I love a good sale.

lolol! so you are asking us if you should buy high after selling low? My advice to you is you need to haNd your money over to someone else to manage who does not suffer from poor emotional regulation and blind impulsivity.

Never sell low OP. You will only lock in your losses. The next time he says something crazy and it dips again, just buy back in and ride the crazy train.

Like another PP, we just buy more every time it tanks a little.

There are pages and pages dedicated to people selling low on this forum. So apparently a lot of people are doing it. Don’t know why though.

Agree with this. Trump is an awful president and he’s damaged our country terribly, but, for now, the US is still the best place to invest. Not sure how much longer that will be the case. China might eventually emerge as the strongest economy but I’m still not sure it would be the best place to invest.

The market is an idiot. I honestly think it’s highly suspicious. It’s stinks of corruption. Someone, many people, are manipulating the market.

Sounds like a vast right-wing conspiracy.

Musk has been accused of market manipulation many times, and he is just the arrogant one who doesn’t try to hide it.
