Good Luck! Unfortunately I know way too many who following 2008 never got back in the market. :shock: Like many have said, that is the hard part.

In 1995 what I wanted was Sun Solaris for x86 because that's what I was using at work. Sun Microsystems wanted around $2000 for a desktop license while Microsoft gave Windows away for $95. Sun no longer exists. If Sun had answered Microsoft and matched their price, now things would be a lot differen...

It's not crazy, till it is.
What I mean is - as long as it works it's fine - when it stops working then it's not fine.
When will it stop working? No one knows, that's why we diversify.

Last Wednesday a bond analyst excitedly talked about the liquidity crisis being created by the Fed unwinding the balance sheet while increasing interest rates. He then predicted another 1000 point drop on Thursday. Actually what happened was a 600 point drop on Thursday and 400 Friday = 1000. He had...

I still don't get why they're raising rates. Powell's not saying there's inflation. To tamp down on bubbles before they explode. They are probably too late though.

I'm not the trading expert, but the fact that the market is not able to snap back after the recent losses is a very bearish sign... and the magnitude of the losses today after the expected rate hike is even more worrying.
