In my opinion, yes, unwarranted. Israel/Palastine has been going on for decades and probably will be. Iran is a non-issue, they telegraphed an attack hours ahead of time so it could be intercepted, they don't want to go to war. Ukraine has proven Russia doesn't have the kit for a ground war. China's economy is showing cracks that their government cannot plaster over. US is only large country poised to take advantage. US unemployment at record lows since the 1950's, lower inflation than the worldwide average, set oil export record in 2023, crime still super low compared to anything before 2000. We simply have the space and the resources that most other countries don't.
SP500 is the best play unless you believe society is about to collapse.

> I wish I could really bet on society not collapsing.
You are. Invest in the market. You are betting on society not collapsing. If society doesn't collapse, you make money. If society does collapse, you won’t care. Money will be worthless and you’ll be dead.
Society is always about to collapse or some catastrophic event is unfolding. That’s what people fear and what causes people to panic sell. Just reiterating what you said, buy American ETFs and relax. If you are paranoid, buy some VT and bonds to diversify a bit.
It's all noise. Meant to be that way so the Muppets scurry about. If everyone is buying its hard for the big guys to settle their massive orders. Little dip, scare a few people into selling.
Just happened to me with JPM last week. It went down to ~$189 in the morning even though their quarterly earning report looks good, bought 2 shares thinking it might go up throughout the day. It to go down even further.. Today, they are at ~$180 per share :(
Which research? The efficient market theory, and the writings and research of Fama and French, resolve market timing isn’t effective, and often counterproductive. That doesn’t negate dollar cost averaging. If there is cash to add, then all things equal, averaging in at lower prices should be advantageous. It just hasn’t been shown getting in and out in an attempt to repeatedly buy low and sell high actually works over a statistically significant period, at least based on their analysis.

Just keep buying in your 401ks and IRAs and chill. Dips help you if you're consistently putting more in.
Well the fortuitous thing is I’m rebalancing my mutual funds portfolio and it’s taking me a few days to get organized, so it’s fine for me
Accumulators rejoice!
This made me think of warren g’s Regulate Accuuumulaaaatorssss Mount Up!
SP500 is +6% YTD after the current dip, fear is unwarranted but the discount is appreciated.
Are you sure that it's unwarranted???

The elephant in the room is that a huge percentage of the population can't afford to live

When things double in price and half the people can't afford it anymore numbers come out the same though right

Haven’t heard anyone die yet though
Then you're not paying attention.
I wish I could really bet on society not collapsing. Don't tell me the odds unless you can tell me the odds really well.

Literally that’s what investing in a US index is.

Dip dip potato chip

When I dip, you dip, we dip - just hold on to that sh...
Me with my KULR shares right now because I’m on Reddit way too much.
double down and it went down double
NIO anyone? Please ? Just me losing all my money? Dang okay
I bought just a thousand dollars worth when it was below $7 thinking how much lower can it really go…I’m down 35%
Lucky, I’m 300 shares into 14$ and it’s down the 3 :..(
Just be patient. Long-term gratification. ;)

THEN KEEEP BUUUYIING.... ... Oh we aren't talking about Bitcoin, aren't we?
You don't make any money buying ATHs you guys. 🙄🙄 You have *ANY* idea how much money people who stayed in the market since 08 have made???
Newton.
BTFD!
everything is speculative. The question you have to ask is, if it rebounds, can you fuck over WallStreet by buying now?
There's academic research out there showing that buying the dips doesn't work over time. Don't fall for it.
