Market makers create a little drama, weak hands sell good positions, and smart people buy the micro dips.

If you are smart, DCA into good ETF's or stocks you plan to own regardless of what happens in the short term. Keep 15-20% in something very low risk and available in the event of a huge sell off. Rinse and Repeat.

If you are nearing retirement, do the same thing but in ETF's that pay good dividends.

The market always gets stagnant or recedes near the holiday season

I’ve never sold stocks for a profit, only for a loss

Everything I buy is a long term hold.

Few tech companies control “the market” or S&P and Nasdaq due to their weighting. When they drop, “the market” drops

Something like 6 companies “control” 30% of the market.

It is why the idea of an AI bubble popping is terrifying.

It would be the “nifty 50” of the early 70s all over again.
