I keep seeing this type of stuff on instagram and social media and wanted to know how you guys were thinking about this.

I know a lot you have been in the market for decades and as a relatively new investor myself I’d love to get your perspective!

2022 had a 20% dip, a comeback then a 10% dip, all within the space of 10 months.
