I’m going to sell you a narrative: Stocks tend to go up over the long term. Sure there is volatility in the short term, but over the long term you are paid back handsomely for enduring that volatility in the form of an equity risk premium. Time in the market is more important than timing the market, as they say, and what is most important is managing any behavioral biases that tempt you to sell. Oh, and by the way, I’ve got a century of data on my side.
The other thing that I noticed that's new to me is how retail investors use tools that measure "race conditions" in stocks that show they are being targeted for a squeeze, then those same stocks get more people to buy in if it looks promising and they can create huge very short term bubbles in small float names. It's just another table in the gambling hall.
