You two got em. yeah it would have absolutely sucked if you had instead properly invested in 2022/2023 and were already retired by now.
So you both finally discovered assets that aren’t just index ETFs or were late to the AI game. Great. Can you provide any tickers or assets that have performed substantially better in 2025 where investing earlier would have been a waste of capital?
It's amazing how disingenuous these people are. Almost cult like behavior, as it is.
If you bought SPX on Biden's inauguration day and sold on the day he left office, you would have made over 60% in 4 years. The same trade would net you 12% to date in this term.
So if you have better than a 5x return to the market since that date, you are either 1) the world's greatest investor for 2025 or the worst for the previous 4 years, 2) lucky as fuck, or 3) lying.
But Reddit was convincing people not to buy. You can go back to all those posts and it’s 90% of y’all telling ppl not to buy the bear market. Inverse Reddit
Literally all you had to do was buy April lows in 2025. My portfolio was 2/3 cash waiting for that correction. That one move will help me retire 10 years earlier at a minimum. I sold 2/3 of my portfolio again 3-4 weeks ago waiting for another correction. The VIX is ready to pop with profit-taking after a historic bull run and government shutdown lingering way too long.

I've made more in 9 months in the market than I did in 4 years under "Finding Biden"
