Remember how you didn’t buy the dip when Covid started in March 2020 and always regretted it?

Well… chances are that you won’t buy into this dip either. I guess that’s just how we are…

There is really no need to bottom fish. Consistency is key to investing. Anyone who has been consistent in their investment process doesn’t really need to try to time the dips…it just doesn’t work.

Buy the market when it’s actually on sale, not just when the price gouging stops. When COVID started, it was actually on sale (from a valuation standpoint). Right now, it’s not.

I bought SPY at the end of March 2020. Good time to buy. Sold too early in June 2020. I thought that Covid would get worse (it did) but the market got better. Times the market well at the bottom but not the top. Timing the market is a losing battle.

3.08% dividend yield on CSCO as of today, which I was not expecting.

Just keep DCAing. You won’t get peak profitability that you would if you bought the absolute dip but at least you won’t miss out and you won’t have worry about trying to time the market.

What dip?

You’re most likely right. My issue is that 2 years ago there was a dip due to people worried the world was ending.

This time around people are worried….Ah crap.

No seriously, it is different this time around. There are SO many factors beyond fear from investors.

But but that is what my 401k is for 😂
