This sub has been dominated by this really weird "time in the market" crowd lately. It's been so annoying so yeah I'm gonna rub it in. I feel sorry for those who DCA and just sat and watched 2 years of growth vanish while others are nimble, ready to react and not passive (lazy) about their investments at all.
Yesterday the US economy was poised to go off a cliff due to tariffs. Today the tariffs have been delayed by at least 90 days. The stock market just shot up 8.5% last I checked.
The reality is events happen slower than anyone can respond to. Trump made a tweet earlier in the day and there was the leaked news yesterday that got burred. For those of us ( myself included ) who were waiting for this, we were able to side-step the entire down turn and re-deploy that capital we were sitting on.
Plus managed to get some calls on that move and those were up 2,800% on the day so that is just icing on the cake.
Its mind boggling to me how decade after decade people sit around and watch the ups and down and no nothing about them?
