"For most of your life, you will be a net BUYER of stocks. So if you are a net buyer, you should want prices LOWER!"

No different than when you go to the grocery store to buy beef. Unless you're the cattle farmer, you want the price of beef to fall...


Anyone outside of their 50's should absolutely LOVE what the market is doing currently.

I’m 63. But I hope to buy at good prices so my investment grows over the next 10 to 30 years.

Can I play?

US Stocks were considerably lower 8 months ago. Just food for thought.

It’s crazy that despite the last few weeks of turmoil and loss, the market is still higher than it was on Nov 5th and the post-run election took place.

I just did my quarterly rebalancing. I was glad to see the prices drop even lower this morning. I've still got enough dry powder to buy again after the next quarter if necessary. Past that, I'm just going to have to sit. In other words, I'm good with lower prices for the next six months. Past that, I'd like some relief.

Huh? Are you implying that food for consumption is the same as investing in an asset that you want to appreciate?

I agree with the Warren Buffett quote, obviously, but your example is atrocious and silly.

I had a buy order triggered. Will buy again if it goes lower perhaps at the $92ish level.

I for one would love to still be flush with stripper and blow money at 93. But chances aren't in my favor. I'm dead or broke, or both at the point imo

Blow out earnings and it dumps 30%. Sounds normal, doesn’t it?

That’s definitely not true. VTI is down about 5% from the pre-election price.

My comment had to do with the August swoon that we saw.

Except for the when the music stops. People were left holding the Nikkei bag for 40 years until they could break even on paper (not even counting inflation).

Warren Buffett is a piece of shite who only worries about profit margins. Berkshire buys companies and notoriously drives their quality into the ground. Just look at all of the shoe brands and jobs they've sent overseas for higher profit margins and garbage products.

Profit margins are pretty important for investors.

They are for drug dealers, also. That doesn't make them less of a piece of shite.
