Don’t beat yourself up - there’s no way to consistently “time” the market that I’ve ever seen. Stock is truly a LONG term investment, and there can be years (or decades!) when no money is made. I don’t have the stomach for it any more, and I sleep better (no nightmares) at night. Sold out my 401K when I retired and bought real estate - not very liquid, but I can actually feel/touch it, they’re not making any more land, and I get those rent checks every month. Not suggesting that for everyone - everyone has their own personal goals, priorities and strategies - it’s all good as long as it works. I think we’re going to see continued volatility for awhile. After the last two years, I think everyone knew a correction was coming. I was reminded of Greenspan’s comment about irrational exuberance (which I ignored just before the tech crash and cost me very dearly) when the Dow passed 26,000.
