What a bad decision. Hopefully you are near retirement, otherwise that is likely a very costly mistake.

Preserving capital until there is more clarity on world events is never a mistake.

This is market timing. Of course it is a mistake.

What you call market timing, I call reducing risk. I don't care to go down with the ship 20, 30, 50%. I can easily get back in once things resolve.

It’s just as likely or more likely to go up 20, 30, 50 percent in the next year. Point is you don’t know. You can’t time it.

Time in market > timing the market. They'll get the lesson when they're hesitant to jump back in and miss plenty of gains. Or they'll time this perfectly and get an inflated sense of importance and completely miss the next big move when they mistime it.

You don't even understand what you own. You have been spoiled from the fantastic run since 2008. These type of returns are atypical and I do not believe they can continue indefinitely. There have been periods of time where stocks went nowhere for 10+ years. The last one was the early 2000's. I believe we are entering another one of these phases. Why on earth would I put my money in something that I believe is overvalued? It's not "timing the market". It's common sense. There will be a better time and place to invest my money.

You don’t know anything and neither do I. It’s why I don’t time the market - I dollar cost average into the market to take advantage down periods. You’re strategy is not smart because you dont know when that better time and place will be. My strategy doesn’t require a “better time and place.”

I’m a skeptical bear. I’m gonna sit on my azz in the G fund (which hasn’t lost any value in the last month) and just keep fence sitting until I feel comfortable about jumping in and that we won’t see more massive dumps coming or a big recession. Granted I am still having my contributions go to C and I fund, but my actual cash load is sitting in G fund waiting until I feel comfortable about buying a sht ton more of C or I fund stocks at a bigger discount. I have a feeling retail is exuberant to buy right now but the market makers always know better. So yeah talk all the sht you want about my market timing. I dgaf. It’s paid off so far. I think we are headed for bad economic times because of tariffs, jobs, all this world tumult and so forth and if you want to keep buying now.

Wrong again.

And you believe the numbers? Let’s talk in a month when they are revised down like usual.

Might be true, but you are definitely falling into a trap that I've seen many do the same. Permabears always saying how everything is rigged back to the 2008 crisis. Well if it's rigged, might as well be on the side that it's rigged for.
