I am waiting for the big payoff
This is how it usually works:
first 10% - suckers rally
2nd 10% - really a suckers rally, no way will they fool me again
3rd 10% - maybe it is safe to go in
4th 10% - I should get in, tired of this 2% Treasury
Average market timer will miss the first 40% of the rise. This is why they perpetually underperform the indicies. This move could easily happen in weeks when it turns, you just never know when it will turn. We could easily go back down to the lows.
I am willing to bet that the money I put in every month this year will be worth way more in 15 years. If you are trying to live off of it today than that is a different issue.
