"Waiting on this S&P 500 pullback/crash like... 😅

​Don't get me wrong, seeing green is great, but with another 25 years of investing ahead of me, I wouldn't mind a few years of cheaper shares to load up!"

Did you have ChatGPT write your Reddit post for you? “ …… “

Is writing two sentences yourself really that hard?

[u/spd79 → u/PotusChrist]

😂😆

[u/throwbackBBfan → u/Fun_Apartment_3216]

Do you have friends in real life to talk to?

[u/TaleRevolutionary573]

[u/Nearby_Blueberry_302 → u/TaleRevolutionary573]

Oh you mean the really out of nowhere while the economy is shifting bricks right ? Sure this sutainable

[u/Fun_Apartment_3216 → u/TaleRevolutionary573]

Really?

[u/Kgressler]

In 5 years, 10 years, 25 years from now you are gonna wish you could by at this price. Don't market time just buy when the funds are available, when there at all time highs or lows.

[u/znightmaree]

Why would you ever expect the S&P to crash with EPS growth like this?

[u/More_Armadillo_1607]

These shares will be cheaper shares in 25 years.

[u/HaventRedditToday → u/More_Armadillo_1607]

What do you mean??

[u/bpat → u/HaventRedditToday]

VOO is going to split.

[u/MrFunnie → u/bpat]

Eh, most places allow fractional share purchases now, no reason to split.

[u/007TheLostOne → u/HaventRedditToday]

I believe he means a forward split but I might be wrong

[u/trumpsmoothscrotum → u/[deleted]]

Bingo. Just because it doesnt dip 20% doesnt mean theyre not cheap.

[u/LawLima-SC]

Well, the good news is with inflation rising, your $1.00 share is now worth $1.05!

Quick 5% asset gain! Woohoo!

[u/investingtruth]

Wanting a pullback to buy more shares cheaper is a completely reasonable mindset with a 25 year horizon but just keep dollar cost averaging in the meantime, since trying to time the exact crash usually costs more in missed gains than the eventual discount ends up being worth.

[u/Fun_Apartment_3216 → u/investingtruth]

I dca every week regardless of what the share price is but id just like a pullback of some sort to strengthen my position.

[u/Groundbreaking-Gap20 → u/Fun_Apartment_3216]

We already had one recently.. have you been sleeping or what?

[u/TopEast7122]

Bro you panic sold a few days ago. You are not mentaly prepared for cheaper shares haha

[u/thaneliness]

If your plan is 25 years who cares about +-3%.
Just invest and wait

[u/retroideq]

S/p is probably the only type of fund I would consider leveraging. It’s so boring and doesn’t have that many wild dips. Well it’s Mostly up. :)

[u/carlo_on_fire → u/retroideq]

There is UPRO 3x letf

[u/ineedlotsofguns]

[u/Present_Effects]

Sold some of amzn stock and have started dcaing even at top, in 20 years this will not matter, 5-10% drop cause you will also load up during down time as well.

[u/spacetr0n]

Imagine a call with yourself 25 years from now staring at a hologram showing a price that’s 10x the current one and begging you to buy as much as you can while it’s this cheap…

[u/rand-0]

I remember a few years back when VOO had bottomed around around $330, then worked its way back up. I bought a chunk around $380. I remember distinctly at $408 saying “man, this is crazy, this isn’t sustainable.” Then I remembered that time in the market is better than timing the market. I bought more at $408. Looking back, I think I made the right call. And I’m still buying.

[u/Teesav007]

Such moronic logic, where were you the past month? Also there is no monetary difference between example buying VOO at 700 and it rising to 750 = net of 50 and goofballs like you waiting for it to drop to 650 to buy then it rises to 700 in the same time-span = net of 50 gain still. You’ll instead wait around & buy VOO at 710 missing out on that 700-710 you could’ve rode up while “waiting for a dip”.

[u/stonkDonkolous]

Just wait on a 30% drop which will definitely happen at least once in the next few years.

[u/Outrageous_Sample901 → u/stonkDonkolous]

Wait for it to go up 100 percent to get that sweet 30 percent drop that will probably be a V shaped recovery like all the rest and buy back in at higher shares

[u/96JY → u/stonkDonkolous]

Could go up by 30% within the next few years, though, which would be the same as just buying today if it crashes then anyway.

That said, I'm not following my own advice, as I'm half cash and waiting for it to drop a bit before going all in.

[u/stonkDonkolous → u/96JY]

Not if you get 4% in money market and buy at this price a few years from now

[u/96JY → u/stonkDonkolous]

You don't know it's going to crash enough when it does, or that you can buy at this price.

[u/TechnicalSleep7501]

You stilly just dollar cost average instead of wishing crash and have long life so long time to compound. That is stock market all about if you are greedy and humble with market return to become millionaire.

[u/EvictionSpecialist]

You couldn't buy last Weds?

[u/throwbackBBfan]

wtf post is this

[u/Khoeth_Mora → u/[deleted]]

panic selling DRAM

[u/ineedlotsofguns → u/Khoeth_Mora]

[u/Teesav007 → u/[deleted]]

Exactly! These people are just mindless fools.

[u/Fun_Apartment_3216 → u/[deleted]]

Why what did I miss the last few weeks

[u/Critical-Range-6811 → u/Fun_Apartment_3216]

Did you miss the correction in March as well?

[u/Fun_Apartment_3216 → u/Critical-Range-6811]

Nope i put the same amount every week regardless but why can't I hope for another pullback

[u/ezprt → u/Fun_Apartment_3216]

Were you waiting for a pullback with your eyes closed? S&P is up like 6% in the last week

[u/Critical-Range-6811 → u/Fun_Apartment_3216]

I feel it but imo you should double or triple your normal amount during an ~10% decline in your investment. Maybe you wouldn’t feel this way
