[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been out of the market completely since 2021.  Obviously, I've missed out on a lot of gains, but it doesn't bother me one bit.  I don't mind missing out on money from speculative investments (which is what I consider the market at these valuations).[/quote]

So you ignore basic financial planning decisions by trying to time the market, have missed out on vast sums of money based on those decisions, are content with making those risky decisions, and think that is a helpful perspective for someone about to do the exact same thing you did?

Here’s a good lesson for OP, don’t do what this person did.  It’s incredibly risky to sit on cash and try buy in when the time is right.   You lose to inflation and you miss out on the short period run ups that account for so much growth.

These perspectives are so nuts, particularly in light of all the debate here around the 20% Trump drop earlier this year and then how it predictably came roaring back to all time highs immediately thereafter.  [/quote]

I think this person meant sitting in treasuries and only buying into stock index when there is a 5-10% correction. Why do you think it’s risky ? [/quote]
