It is certainly interesting to see people fly out of the woodwork to assure everyone with all the detailed explanations of why the market went down a few measly percent, to just keep buying and it will be all time high again next week. And maybe it will be.
Or we could see further declines of 5, 10, 15, 20% or more in the coming months. That’s not “bad”, if anything it’s healthy for investors. It’s just that those that already bought higher are now upset.
Forest fires have cleared overcrowded forests and allowed for healthier regrowth for millions of years, market fires are the same.
