at what point does buying the dip become the actual risk?

Yesterday, Trump said the Iran deal was over, oil jumped, and the Dow got crushed. Today, the U.S. launched new strikes, Iran retaliated against Kuwait and Bahrain, and Nasdaq futures basically shrugged.

That made me wonder if the market has now trained an entire generation of investors to believe every crisis has the same ending: panic, wait 24 hours, buy the dip, profit.

And so far, that strategy has worked disturbingly well.

But every strategy looks genius until the one time the dip keeps dipping.

What would actually make you NOT buy a market selloff right now?

I’m genuinely curious where people draw the line.
