Anyone with questions about the stock market, please just keep this in mind

This is the bottom line about the market. Period. Look at this chart. Look at the 5 year, 10 year, 20 year, 50 year, this is how it goes:

The stock market will always survive. It's meant to survive. Anyone you name who's rich, who's powerful, who's anyone, they have stocks. They have funds. The market will always go back up regardless of the daily shit that happens. Always. In the dow, in nasdaq, if a stock sucks, they remove it from the index and replace it with something better. If the economy goes to shit, they lower interest rates. They do what they can for the market. They need this to thrive. This is how it goes. Defintely DCA, start as early as you can. Max out your 401k. To me, this is the bottom line. Patience is the key.
