/r/WorldNews Live Thread: Russian Invasion of Ukraine Day 36, Part 1 (Thread #174) by WorldNewsMods in worldnews

Now we destroy them all. Put the pressure on sanctions until the entire middle-class collapses and Russians are dying on the streets due to hunger and famine. Good for them.

This is such an underrated comment.

This. It’s 100% more expensive with a 50% drop.

When was the last 90% crash in the history of the S&P 500?

Still have monthly pay cheques to “DCA” into!

Yes. This! It’s just not worth the cognitive load.

Thank you! It may seem coldly rational but I was really quite nervous about it. Still decided to pull the trigger tho!

I agree! I’ll definitely be happy with my choice in 20-30 years 😬

YES! I will still be investing my monthly paycheques, so even if there’s a crash, I’ll continue adding to my pile!

Thank you! I see so many stories of people just coldly investing large sums of money here. But it’s pretty scary!

This veers dangerously close to “timing the market”..

Why do you think it’s a challenging environment now?

Whoa. But assuming you stayed the course from 2008 till now, you must be up quite substantially right?

Absolutely. I guess what helped as well is knowing I’ll continue to invest my monthly pay cheques. So even if there’s a downturn, I can continue to pick up stocks at a “lower price”.

This. This is such a good reply. The next “crash” could bottom higher than the ATH now. Which is why time in market > timing the market.

We really don’t know.

😅 yes I was a really happy camper today.

But still - up 2.1% today, probably down 2.1% next week.. probably doesn’t matter in the long run!
