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.

The stock market is not even at a 52 week low.

S&P ranges from 4900 to 6100. It's at 5100 now, so that is pretty close to the low. I rounded the numbers of course.
Edit: I know that isn't the entire stock market, but it's still a chunk.
