I felt stupid when I asked here to go all cash end of Jan went to stable fund. The 2020 to 22 returns were freaking crazy how often do you get +20% return on VTi or total stock alone? Not talking about gme tesla and other non sense ridiculous gains. Something has to give in..
Now maybe am not so dumb, am actually buying back in slowly maybe it's another senseless market timing endeavor but time will tell.
I have also felt everything is not being priced in .
But hey nobody knows nothin'
So you went to cash at the end of the following years too which had higher returns than 2020 and 2021?
VTI
2009 +28.89%
2013 +33.45%
2019 +30.67
Yes I am talking about something different.. I have never gone all cash before. Was maxing out 401k since quite long now all goes 100% index no bonds. Young so make it rain.
Tell me if we had a global pandemic, followed by Feds buying junk bonds, dropping rates to near 0, your RE primary home shooting up 50% would you be happy gloating about it or think how in the heck is this reasonable?
Look back at total return for 2020 and 21, it is unreal..I mean basically the stock market rode up on stupid monetary easing policies .. because of this dogecoin went up where you put 1k it became 70k in Jan 2021 tell me that's sane?
Even those who hold bonds Normally you avoid buying Junk bonds even tho the yield is so high cuz of their bad rating..
And here is the Fed marching and buying all that junk bond..
Is this what you mean priced in?
I do wish and hope our 401k reaches ATH soon. But sometimes the answer lies right in front of us
What is pure luck is that I exited end of Jan that may or may not be right..ideally would have been end of Dec ATH
But we also have inflation, geo political issues, covid supply chain issues in the mix...
I Also did not think we would dip as much as we did and the year is just starting..
