The author argues that the S&P 500 hitting all-time highs is a normal state and that it consistently rebounds stronger after any crash, citing the 2020 crash as a personal lesson. The author's stated strategy is to "just buy, buy, buy" regardless of market noise, implying a continuous long position in the broad market is the only rational course of action. The post is a strong argument for a long-term, passive investment strategy in the S&P 500, dismissing market timing as a guaranteed way to lose money. A severe, prolonged downturn (e.g., depression) could invalidate the "always rebounds" thesis within an individual's investment horizon. The strategy also ignores valuation and macro risks.
