what? how did you pay for school then?

Finally someone else is paying attention to this shit

I also bought like 50k in index funds and the loss is around $250 already. But you just have to learn to ignore it, a week is nothing in a 30 year long term plan.

Anyone holding during the big tech crash would be ahead right now.

Anyone who was holding during the big tech crash who said "well, fuck..." and invested heavily to further build their portfolio while they were at their lowest would have seen amazing returns.

You only lose when you sell.

The point is that if they sold before the crash, they could buy even more during the dip. This would result in superior gains to pure holding. You fucking idiot.

>>1748019
Have fun trying to time the dip in a bull market like this.

Eh, if you want to get rich you better buy bitcoin, unless you are a pussy that can only hold grandpa tier stocks then complain you never got rich.

>>1744621
there is no "worst time possible" if you use the cost average strategy. Read about it

>Eh, if you want to get rich you better buy bitcoin,

I already bought it sub 200 (i'm not a laggard fool). It would be stupid to buy now that it is high.

I'm holding 40% in cryptos that I bought early and 60% in index funds, planning to increase the index part and reduce crypto magic internet money bullshit gambling fund
