Dear Caek,
I liquidated my 401k because I got scared about Brexit and I am so dumb that I thought somehow that Great Britain was economically relevant in the 2016 global economy. Now markets are up and I’ll lose even more money getting back in because I’m a dumbass who does what my TV tells me to do! Help!!
And now you know to buy the dip.
Even if GB falls into the ocean, you buy the dip. If the EU disbands, you buy the dip. If there’s another 2008, you buy the dip. If you fall into a time portal and you’re in 2008 with your portfolio somehow intact, you buy the dip.
If markets decline for any reason other than global nuclear war, you buy the dip. For that matter, even if the ICBMs are in the air, don’t panic sell like a bitch, because if they are recalled and/or destroyed in transit, you’ll be glad that you bought the dip.
The point I’m trying to make here is you should buy the dip.
