Big difference. Last year the chaos was from Trumps tariffs and he could and did unilaterally TACO. Now the chaos is from his Iran war. It’s clear he wants to TACO, but Israel and Iran are making that complicated. Maybe he’ll figure out how to get out but he probably won’t
So in other words, you think a market timing strategy will work this time?
Where did I say that?
What point are you trying to make then? The whole thread pertains to market timing.

Not saying it will happen but history has taught me not to panic and just ride it out. That strategy has made me richer than most chicken headers trying to time the market.
This thread is about buying, not selling.

I’m not selling but slowly buying in and my main capital is not even deployed yet. I do think we may have several “deeps” before midterm
If your main capital isn't deployed you missed out on a ton of gains. You can't speak out of both sides of your mouth like stupid financial TV contributors. Feel free to do what's best for your situations, but these general statements are total BS
