>>62568096You can't compare pre-2008 markets to now. Everything has changed, we are now in the fake and gay era. Corporations are now backed by the state, and monetary policy is used to continuously pump assets.
>>62568218then don't bother investing, just trade
I'd rather baghold stocks into a recession than baghold fiat into hyperinflation, especially when the latter seems more likely considering central banks and politicians have turned the moneyprinter on full speed literally every single time there has been stress in the market. What the fuck makes you think they'll stop?
>>62568296so you'd rather have imaginary fairy dust than money that could at least buy something?
>>62568311If the stocks can be sold, they can be converted to money at will. It's not that complicated.
>>62568319good luck selling your stocks in WW3 when your city gets locked down by the military and water, electricty and utilities only run for 3h a day, and internet is cut off forever
>>62568096you're supposed to keep buying when it's crashed to bring down your average, stupid.
>>62568322That's what you're saving for? WW3?In WW3 money won't help you.
>>62568096as an immortal being who exists on an infinitely long time horizon, this is perfectly fine. you have to remember that you can't time the market -- WARREN BUFFET SAID SO. so you just have to buy the dip and lock in for the ride.
>>62568096If you did DCA from 2000 to 2015 you'd be way up.You can't time the market so don't go all in all at once that's the whole point
>>62568096So you're saying the worst that could happen is you are back to breakeven only 30 years before retirement? Oh the horror!Meanwhile had you reinvested your dividends you'd have been back to breakeven in 2012. And had you bought into the market either a year earlier or later, or DCA'd into the market you'd have been back to break even in 2007.
Ah yes, the person that made 100% of their lifetime earnings all at once at one horrific point in time and put it all into the market immediately
>>62568096small price to pay for our greatest ally. are you brown?
>>62568322>good luck selling your stocks in WW3How bad could it be?
>>62568322>investment strategy relies on apocalyptic scenarios to pay offGood luck with that lil buddy
>>62568221It would probably be even worse>buy in 2027>crash in 2029>back to break even in 2065-2070
>>62568096DCA
>>62568096I'm so afraid of that I have only deployed ~25% one year after inheriting
>>62568096who the hell fullstacks the very top and never dca's at any point in time after?
>>62570124>DCA>market crashes right after you've finished DCAing
>>62568096So the problem here is assuming that every stock goes up forever, that every stock is “good”, and that active portfolio management is a memeThe people who actually end up bagholding for a decade deserve it, they are the equivalent of betting money they they can place in a 1500m race in the Olympics while being a hobby runner The stock market is a competition. You are competing against other people; it’s not free money
>>62570270It’s okay to be a hobby runner (DCA/still have a day job/whatever)But when you’re a hobby trader/investor and you somehow get the ego and conviction to go all in with leverage on dumb shit like high beta tech/semiconductors/memory after they’re up like 200% ytd, yeah bro you 100% deserved that loss
>followed this logic>now down a lot (unrealized)>the things I invested in either have a bullish outlook or good earningsbut are still getting sold down hard or pumping very littleSo when does the winning start
