Op here. So everyone is convinced that’s the bottom? All the inflation signs, slowing hiring, turmoil overseas, tariff impacts, that’s it? Everyone is just super cocksure of themselves that we are just gonna see a perpetual bull run forever? Stonks only go up and all that? No issues?

Fk that. I’m not buying it. I bet we have a massive drop in value soon after midterms. We can’t just kick the economy, or fudge numbers, or revise them down so many times and just pretend the market only goes up. We never even had a sustained downturn yet. I am not buying yet. It feels like the market makers are waiting until retail has bought up all the dips and then will unload and the market dumps.

Hahaha. Ok and you timed the sale perfectly prior to that? Do you understand the luck involved in that in such a short time period? It’s just so dumb and pure gambling.

Yes, moron. I sold in mid Feb just as Deb Crown had everyone piling into I fund. My TSP is up 8% YTD not including today and my Roth IRA is up 6% YTD including today. S&P only up 4ish. Total assets half a mil for the other moron. Please hold my beer while I take another victory lap.

As in 500k? That's all you got?

so with typical internet exaggeration like 50k. You're trolling big time at this point and it's clear. Are you are going to trade every 5% move from now until retirement? Or are we still totally f'd and you secretly are selling. It's all BS.

WTF are you babbling about?

All I know is this. When the stock gets as low as it’s going to go, buy. When it gets as high as it’s going to go, sell.

Moving to G was a bad move. There’s no other way to put it.

they probably have 10k invested so it's meaningless. Anyone with real $$$ invested knows it's a fool's errand, but our OP is clearly the next Buffet (who doesn't really market time like this lol)

Missing out on this type of run-up is just catastrophic for long term investment performance. You just can’t miss them. It’s why you never do exactly what the posters in this thread (and many others like it) set out to do.

If I attempt to time the market, the market goes back up…so y’all can thank me for stocks being back up! A bit sad that my 5k buy isn’t on sale but I guess it’s good the rest of our portfolio is back up

Quite an air pocket!

You just sound mad I correctly timed the market. I've done this many times now in 2020, 2022, 2025, 2026...it's fairly easy once you know what you're looking for.

So you're super young and probably leaving out a lot of the losses along the way. Got it!
