I still see many analysts so convinced that a significant bear market is around the corner. You’d think, after being wrong in 2018…and then again in 2022…that they’d take a breather but no this time, they’re really sure! Apparently, nothing will ever be investable again

If you're looking for an easy way to stay sidelined, just keep listening to them.

Corrections happen. They're part of the game and when they occur and opportunities in disguise. It's what makes a market a market. And yet, time and time again a dip gets spun as the end of the world (happened last August, this April, and it will happen again). Doom posters remain spectators while the game moves on without them. It's always "too early," "too risky", to commit capital. Until, of course, it's too late

"Buy when there's blood on the streets" sounds great until you actually have to do it. Turns out conviction and putting into practice is messy and requires a willingness to act when it's uncomfortable. THAT is what separates the long-term winners from the perennial pessimists

Bears perfect the art of saying "I told you so," without ever having taken a risk and rarely end up owning anything

Decide whether you'd rather take risk or just talk about it
