What's the One Thing You Most Want to Tell Yourself?

Yesterday, after a deep V-shaped reversal in the U.S. stock market, both bulls and bears were wiped out.

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸPeople say that now is a very uncertain time to be an investor.  The truth is that it is always an uncertain time to risk putting money in investing. However  what history teaches us is this : the price we pay for earning long term life changing compound rewards is that we have to face short term uncertainty. So I tell myself that I am willing to ride this volatility because I am looking at the long term gains.  I also tell myself that it is important to have a positive mindset. There is no failure, only lessons learnt.  So I will continue to stay invested, whether the markets are up or down to reap bountiful harvest in the long term.  My formula - invest in index ETFs.  The scarier the markets, the cheaper the shares.

I still remember the crash of 2022 like it was yesterday. It was the first time I saw my portfolio bleed so fast โ€” I stayed up all night watching the red candles stack, and the sense of helplessness was overwhelming. I sold some positions out of fear, and the regret that followed taught me a painful but necessary lesson about emotional discipline in investing. That experience changed me. This time, during the recent market plunge, I kept calm and stuck to my plan. I reminded myself how panicking last time only led to bad decisions. Instead of reacting impulsively, I followed a buy-the-dip list I had prepared, and it helped me stay focused on long-term goals, not short-term noise. If I could tell my past self one thing, it would be: โ€œYouโ€™ve made it through worse โ€” trust your strategy and do

I will start with one important statement, never over leverage. The market sentiment now is extreme fear. Nobody know what is next, especially when there is a lunatic at the throne, whose voice and opinion could drive the indices down further. That being said, DO NOT all-in for the puts. With $ๆ ‡ๆ™ฎ500ๆณขๅŠจ็އๆŒ‡ๆ•ฐ(VIX)$  at current level, which implies extreme volatility, puts are extremely expensive and may not yield expected returns. Another rumour or gossip, could drive the price the other direction and trigger margin calls.  Be prudent and cautious. Never all-in.
I want to tell myself to be calm and steady. Like Warren Buffet said before - When people panic and sell away shares , u buy them. When people happily buying in shares, u sold them. Of course, u need to buy those company shares that are having good business model that have potential growth. It will be even better if the company got give dividend. Whatever the share price go down, it will go up eventually in 1 day.  I had gone through so many times in my life. For example shares that i had held $Alibaba(BABA)$  $Sea Ltd(SE)$  .
We have been there before! The 2022 bear market, the COVID 19 2020 crash!  It's going to be the same. Just buy and hold and wait 1 year. Everything is gonna be settled And if it doesn't, Trump is going to be gone in 4 years.  It should definitely be settled by then.  [Happy]  [Anger]  [Cool]  [Tongue]  [Shy]  
Wait for an opportunity.. Buy the third dip and get the reward once the market rebounded... my coffee time Be decisive be quick... Always has next opportunity

Tell myself to believe in myself and do what I can control , do not freak over things you can't !

I don't want to be pessimistic but I feel this is going to be historic in terms of magnitude and harm.

Trade cautiously to skip chasing after big gains and escape the ache of huge losses.

Market whiplash? I call it extreme financial yoga โ€” very painful, still holding.
I must learn to control my emotions to buy the dips. Need to look for signs
