My friend, the market has already priced this in.[/quote]

What's that you were saying?[/quote]

Market timers can't time the market so they settle for winning ?? arguments on dcum[/quote]

I’m the op “market timer” that did well during the Great Recession and mentioned on page 1 that I went 100% G fund. They’re literally arguing no one should try to time the market because you aren’t perfect and can never hit the top or the bottom.

I mentioned earlier in the thread, that’s not even my goal. I don’t mind if I sell when it’s already down some as long as I’m back into stocks when it’s lower than the price I sold at. It didn’t take a genius to see that massive tariffs would tank the stock market. I didn’t hit the top and I’m not expecting to buy at the bottom but it’s going to be hard to buy at a lower price than I sold for. But their response is basically yeah but other people didn’t do that or implying I’m lying because the internet is full of people that always win or whatever. I don’t always win but this was OBVIOUS.

Ok ok it's not luck. You are really smart and skilled at predicting the future and will continue to beat the market because it's not luck.[/quote]

I didn't even say that. I'm not perfect. I'm not the smartest person in the room. I am lucky. I rode out the COVID drop in stocks for example.

You're implying me saying the stock market drop was OBVIOUS was me claiming to be "really smart". No, that's not it at all. It was obvious to the point many many people were saying this would happen. I think what wasn't so obvious was that people thought that Trump didn't actually mean it. That's the mistake a lot of people are making. When he says something that seems outlandish, he absolutely means it. High tariffs? Not a negotiating point, he means he actually wants them. Invade Canada or buy Greenland? He means it. Run for a third term? He means it. When Donald Trump says something, take him at his word.[/quote]
