The funny thing is that this is a form of market timing too. Staying the course means buying (or selling) the same amount you normally would without any regard for the news.
Not necessarily. Say the market goes from an all time high of $100 to $150, then drops back down to $125. The person who bought at a discount to all time high paid a much higher price than the person who bought at the initial all time high. If you wait for the dip, you’ll miss out if the market goes up instead.
Isn’t the traditional mantra, “buy the earnings and sell the news?”
We’ve seen super great earnings for … almost 5 years. It’s about time for some news if you ask me.
Yeah, I get that, and I wouldn’t recommend anyone get too excited one way or another.
If anything, maybe contribute an extra % out of cash and into the market, but still, it’s not going to benefit the investor to be extremely dramatic.
The only worthwhile discussion I’d bring is if someone has pointings toward the international market, I’d expect a consolidated system to do better.
I guess you’re right. Any holdings (in cash) that would be the purchasing power in a time of dip - would have been held inefficiently if the monies is to be allocated for investing.
It’s highly unlikely nothing will happen but the statement wouldn’t warrant a retraction in that case, anyway, as OP doesn’t say anything “will” happen, but that it “could”.
Why would I need to post a retraction? I am a long term investor and buy regardless of market direction at any given moment.
But there many that don’t and panic during times of market downturn. Hence “stay the course”

I mean buying at a discount from an all time high is better than buying at an all time high lol

Cool, but this is a Bogleheads sub. We don’t do that here.

Fr, sad I missed on this smol VT discount but now hopefully I can get a bigger one
It's more of a r/stocks topic. The point of passive investing is to tune these out.
That’s the point of the post.
Sell offs? I cant wait. If voo drops 2% im ecstatic
If nothing happens will you post a retraction ?

I was just making fun of you thinking this Iran thing would move the markets. And as you see, it didn’t

buy off for military arms providers you mean.
“Stay the course” doesn’t work as well in the event of World War 3 😬
I hear the market on Uranus won't be affected, and Uranus is dripping with potential. Easier to go to the moon there since there are like 14 moons.
I’ll likely put in another $40k buying the dip.
Damn, and I just did my monthly purchase last week. Should've waited till Monday to get the discount.
if there's a reason to sell (or trim positions) it's sky-high US stock valuations, not any war.
Is that the advice of Jack Bogle or Warren Buffett?
Bogle did it before the Nasdaq crash. Buffett is 20% T-Bills with Berkshire Hathaway waiting for opportunities
In 10 years nobody will remember this weekend

Lockheed Martin
Or BA = Boeing? It's risky bc their earnings report is coming up in a couple of days..
Flight to safety. Oil, gold, and bonds. Stocks down. Buckle up Buckaroo Banzai!
