The Ai-Sage has the following words on the market. < not a serious post >

During calamitous times, the wise sage of Omaha would occasionally appear and utter soothing words to calm the people, the markets would stop roiling and the Feds would sigh a relief. However I think he is enjoying his retirement at the moment. And probably has a “Do not disturb” sign on his front door. ——— So here is a poorly constructed Ai-Sage for ya, and he says to choose any of the three appropriate response for what is happening in the market: 1. Quit whining. If yall had just followed my advice and invested in the SPX you would still be positive ytd. ( when dividends are added). https://www.slickcharts.com/sp500/returns/details 2. Quit whining. If ya had bought American industrials instead of tech AI stuff, or ex-USA stocks you would be up ytd 12.58%. Don’t bet against industrial USA. https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/indices/equity/sp-500-industrials-sector/ 3. Quit whining. You can argue that if you're not willing to react with equanimity to a market price decline of 50% two or three times a century, you're not fit to be a common shareholder, and you deserve the mediocre result you're going to get. https://www.investopedia.com/buffett-and-munger-s-strategy-to-shield-your-portfolio-from-a-50-market-drop-11892212 /s <—— S für Schmetterling nicht Butter-Fliege! ——-
