ya alot of people are freaking out.

but could be correction to go to 20k. i do regret listening to bears. in 2010 , i got scared and went cash in 401k, and although my additional deposits were put into funds, i lost so much upside .

i just dont want to miss upside again. if it drops to 10k (unlikely) i wouldnt be unhappy

plus i have 100k on the sidelines. i dont know what to do really

You need to stop thinking that pulling out too soon is taking a loss on potential profit.

That menality only breeds greed

buy bonds

This is very true. It will also cloud your judgement.

I forget who said, "I've never bought the bottom and never sold the top," but it was a very rich and successful investor. I have to repeat this line every time I close a position for 10% profit and it shoots up 5% the next day.

Aldo helpful for when you buy and the stock drops the next day. "Never bought the bottom"

buy VTI and hold long

i will do 500/month; just not sure when to start, this year or after the crash

/biz/ advice:

2008: do not buy, wait it out, you can't catch a falling knife
2009: do not buy, lots of room to fall
2010: do not buy, dead cat bounce
2011: do not buy, crash is coming
2012: do not buy, we're at market top
2013: do not buy, market is overpriced
2014: do not buy, muh fed muh jews muh redpill
2015: do not buy, muh happening
2016: do not buy, wait it out, you can't catch a falling knife

repeat, ad nausium

If you bought now, you'd pretty much be buying at the bottom. The market isn't going to go down much more than now. The economy is too good.

just flip a coin
