The best days are when stocks free-fall in the morning and then soar after I buy the dip.
Holy day trading , on Bogleheads, no less.
I never sell because of taxes, I only buy, there is no trading.

That is before taxes.
Most of have most of our investments bin tax-advantaged accounts.
Even In a taxable account --
1) there are no capital gains distributions, so not as much lost to taxes as others; and
2) there are taxes on distributed divivends, but I still prefer dividends to no dividends.
In any event the thread is about the U.S. stock market supposed to be in '"free fall ".

stocks and bonds both falling off the cliff today as hopes of rate cut fade. I'll stay in cash, thanks.
crap i should have bought the dip
Somebody should really announce dips and peaks in advance. Would make things so much more civilized
They do it all the time. Most of the time they're wrong though. You know it's coming but you don't know when. No one knows. So make sure to have an appropriate asset allocation, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.
Wait, so I might make $$$ but more likely I'll lose $$$ and the pundits on TV will suddenly have my $$$ transferred to their best buddies/themselves ??? That doesn't sound so good although being paid to be wrong selfishly doesn't sound so bad

CNBC does this all day, stopping only for ads for Fisher Investments and weird ETF ads with trance elevator music.
I watch CNBC all day long so when the money honeys trigger the algorithms I will be the first to buy the dip before the bounce back*.

If you're getting it from cable news, you're getting it late... "NEWS" these days seems to consist of who is under fire from a Twitter mob.. The algo's are already scraping it from the source and moved on to something else before the TV has even assembled a panel to discuss how their sponsors want you should feel about some posts on the Internet.

CNBC is on top of things and announce the numbers as soon as they are out. They also interview CEO at the gatherings they have.
I don't act on the news, I act on the algorithms reaction to the news. I never sell so I'm going to be OK. OMG, I made money as I was typing. What a country.

You've got to see this video at 1:24. Brian Regan is uproarious, and that was his best show ever.

Markets can be very dumb in the short term.
I wouldn't say dumb as much as whiny, like a two year old throwing a temper tantrum.

Yeah I like that better. The cranky pants didn't get their .50 rate cut and are having a little fit.
Powell should have brought some iPads .... isn't this how parents deal with temper tantrums these days? Sorry... I couldn't resist...
I think that adult coloring books are the current thing.

Would it be better if we have another 20% discount? I'm in no hurry...
Neither am I. I shouldn't need to make any withdrawals for at least 16 years.

What do you think will be the pull back this time.. 3%? Futures are already stabilizing, does not look like much of a panic to me
Time to switch to soaring thread, my last buy of VTI is up .35%; I'm good at this.

Free falling the other way ( not surprisingly).
It is the algorithms blindly reacting to buzz words. Once humans get involved the "V" rebalances. Earnings are up, very few misses. Buy the dips when they don't agree with the numbers.
, on Bogleheads, no less.
that’s signature worthy, not always true but nice when it is.
Sorry... I couldn't resist...
