I don’t think it’s possible to tell the difference between volatility and things picking back up. Somebody trying to follow this advice might have bought on Friday when the market went up.
The market is likely to go much higher than friday in the coming decades.
I agree completely. My advice to anyone who isn’t employed as a stock trader is to buy when you have investable cash. In particular my comment was disagreeing with the advice to “wait a little while longer.”
Yes... people should buy while the market is falling. You can't time the bottom. You can observe the fall though.
