[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Market rise and fall. If you are in the market for the long-term, even a big crash isn’t gonna kill you. That’s what I don’t understand. Everyone talks about the market crashing, but if it’s crashing from being so high, and you’ve been in it for a long time then you’re still always gonna come out ahead. So what’s the problem?[/quote]

Isn't the problem really self-explanatory?

The market is basically gambling.  When the market goes down, you are losing money.  Who wants to lose money and how much is the more important question.  It may not kill you to lose some but losing some means you have less to continue playing the market with = making less money as well.  I mean there's "kill you" in that you lose all your money and there's "kill you" where you lose a lot of your money.  It doesn't matter how long you're in the market for, it matters how much money you've lost in terms of how much you're invested.  Someone who has $1M in the market, the market may tank and they lose $900K - unless they diversified enough to lose $300k.  In any case, if you've lost 30% of your money, it may not "kill you" but bro - you gonna be happy about that?  And are you ALWAYS gonna come out ahead if you have no more money to invest?

Another issue is when you are expecting to cash out your winnings aka sell some stocks.  When you sell low, you make nothing so yeah, it's quite upsetting when the market takes a big crash..I'm really not sure what part of all this makes no sense to you??![/quote]
