is this the ride you're referencing?

Some of the biggest % runs in the stock market have been in a bear run.

What's your horizon? Why sell if you plan to hold for longer than 5 years? Unless you think stock prices today are marginally higher than where they will be in the 20+ years from now, I don't think it makes sense.

Dollar cost averaging is a very reputable strategy and I personally am along for the ride. There's nothing wrong with holding some cash but I've watched me go from red to green to red to green to red to now green. It's all part of the long term plans.

so really what you're asking is if it's a good idea to time the market

The S&P might be up YTD, but its still down around 8% from its all time high in Dec-2021. I would keep buying.

I've timed the market with a lot of success.

I'm semi retired with time to pay attention to the market and usually have a very good feel about the ebbs and flows.

Unless something totally unexpected happens, the market will be down next week.

---

Then why are you asking this board? Seems you got it all figured out.

So I suppose the market not being down would be considered something unexpected..

---

The market ebbs and flows. At least in normal times. we've been on a nice run of flow.

I think we're coming due for an ebb. Actually likely Thursday or Friday of this week. Investors have been on a buying frenzy lately.

---

If it doesn't go down, it could stay flat. And if it doesn't stay flat, it could go down. And if it doesn't go up, it could go down…



I really hope this is a joke post…

rereading ops first post, he actually didn't ask the board anything.

since it's been going up it's likely going to go down, unless this is a time where it keeps going up, in which case it will go up until the next time it goes down

is it time to sell ?

even if it goes +400pts before that happens

Why stop at selling when you could easily retire shorting the market

If you believe it will be +400 before it is -100 from todays price, god bless you.

I always get the suspicion txaggieacct is a Barnes sock. Has made millions in the stock market, semi-retired, bought his kids home, always asking for buys and other market questions, but still wants to act like he knows more than everyone.

The title of the thread is "Is it time to sell?"…with a question mark…..


Unless things have changed in the last few decades since I left Mrs Martin's first grade class I'm pretty sure that's a question

So it pulls back to lows not seen since the day before and somehow that makes you right about some big fire sell?

Pretty solid troll job by the OP.

Of course the market could pull back 25 BP's tomorrow and he can say "see…told you so…" despite the week we've had.

man he really tbagged us for a few min this morning

this wizard prob got all out of S&P at 4390 yesterday avoiding the massive crash then got back in at 4360 this morning

why did we not all heed the obvious warning
