A lot of people are saying December will be the big “get out while you can” month, but honestly I think the real turning point is November. Why? Simple, markets never wait for news to drop before reacting. The rate cut expectation has already been mostly priced in, so by the time the Fed actually cuts in December, it will probably be a classic “buy the rumor, sell the news” setup.
November, on the other hand, is interesting. No FOMC meeting, no major updates, it is a vacuum period where bulls and bears test each other. If we are going to see a move, it will likely start then, when smart money takes advantage of the quiet to push a rebound.
Come December, with the Fed’s final decision, Japan possibly hiking, and uncertainty around the 2026 dot plot, volatility will likely dominate instead of opportunity.
So while everyone is staring at December, I am keeping my eyes on November. If you really want to make a move, it might be best to do it before the storm starts brewing.

@rafaelision@charliebilello There are risks all the time, but through centuries of continuous development of human society, it has been proven that everything goes in a good direction
@mattpelo@mhp_guy But psychological and emotional factors are also part of his considerations, and a bought house brings a different emotional value than a rented one. Everyone pays for emotional value, don't they?
I think the point is you’re in for $680K over nine years, that’s $75k/year. Assume you could rent a similar house for 4-5K/month. That’s $15k/year (@$5k/month) in savings. $15k invested in S&P each year for nine consecutive years is probably worth $3-400k, potentially a lot more if invested aggressively in tech. Housing isn’t a bad investment and has a lot of intangibles, especially considering leverage and tax benefits, but as an asset class shouldn’t have returns comparable to equities.
This is a situation that I think is unhealthy, it's nothing less than a new standard against the average life expectancy, the money is being used for something you have no idea where it's being used until you take it out, and brings in much less relative to S&P. If you're looking at protection, pay into Social Security, if you're looking at reporting, a fixed S&P is a good choice, and the money will be very flexible
@revjohn22@MJTruthUltra I felt the same 20 years ago but am glad I kept paying into the system. Getting a nice check now. Reagan saved it from going broke in 1980 so it can be done.

@hubert_on_x@Mr_Derivatives And houses are a large asset, it only costs a small amount of money to buy an S&P, but more people are buying them than are buying houses

Think about how many years the stock market has evolved so far, it takes time for a thing to make people accept it, and it takes time for the market to validate it. Of course, if one keeps holding on to it, I'm sure time will give everyone good answers as well!
