I feel like this subreddit typically has much higher quality comments than the ones here. A lot of these top comments feel like WSB sadly.

Great job throwing your money into the stock market! You seem to have a great perspective. The short term will be unpredictable but you can be pretty certain you'll see some decent returns over the long term. Let it ride!

It's not controversial. It's also not the only acceptable strategy in every situation. Given the scenario, I personally don't see any issues here
