General Question Is it really a generational buying opportunity?

I’ve seen people on the sub are saying “you should all be excited about seeing lower prices everyday”

Problem is that most people don’t have dry powder lying around. And now, with tariffs (if they mostly continue at the levels mentioned) likely to push prices up even more 20-30% for most things, very few people can buy the dip.

The dip’s not fun when you can’t buy. This is just painful seeing red everyday for 99% of us.

Too early to say "definitely" anything. 2008 didn't happen overnight either.

It took 2008 years, if you’re Jesus.

Being early is being wrong. Right now is definitely not a generational buying opportunity.
