AI Summary
Summary
The post is a rant against perpetual market crash prophecies and those who try to time the market, based on the author's personal experience of selling during the COVID-19 crash and missing the rebound.
The author's thesis is that markets always rebound to new highs, so the correct strategy is to continuously buy (especially broad market ETFs) and ignore doomsayers.
Quality assessment: This is personal anecdote and sentiment-driven speculation, not well-researched DD. It is noise with a strong emotional bias.

Ever since ive started investing in 2019 as a 30 year old, ive since then read everyday on forums like these
”Markets gonna crash, look at x and y”
”SP500 is at a hall time high” as an argument
Then, when everyone who did not panic made a lot of money because it did not crash, you start seeing post like
”Market is irrational, how can it go up? Its rigged. Its only for the rich”
I dont understand how so weak human beings can even think of investing over and over again. Markets has crashed before, it will crash again, no one knows when but it always rebounds stronger and stronger.
So, who gives a shit? Why make a million posts about it everyday? You dont think SP500 will hit new records soon? Ever? Why even invest then? When it really crashes, its gonna take some years but it always rebounds and hits a new high, and trying to time shit is a perfect way to lose your money completely.
2020 when Corona hit, i really thought 2008 was upon us, i was 100% sure. I sold off every single ETF i had because i was supposed to be smart when it was only 20% down because i listened to internet. Then it rebounded. I lost 20% of everything i worked so hard for and missed out on when it regained it, and started investing again.
Lesson learned. Never, ever, again. Since then i just buy, buy, buy and dont give a single shit about about people like these losers. But what now gets on my nerves is how people have the guts to totally stress the shit out of new young investors making them not invest.
Please, shut the f up and go let your money rot in a bank where you should have them and let young people build their future.
And guess what? SP500 hitting all time highs is a normalt state otherwise it would not be the best investment in history, JFC.
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.
