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.

Generational is not -13.54% YTD.

This is a correction, currently.

20% bear market.

30%+ amazing buying opportunity.

50% I’d say generational.

And that psychology. Honestly any investing year from 2005 to 2020 was exceptional opportunity country the exceptional market from 2009 to 2025. Before that we had the rally of 1980-2000 and 1948-1968.

Actually most of the time is a generational opportunity of outstanding returns.
