You can expect a drop of over 20% about every four years.
Successful investors know this. If you can’t accept it, the stock market isn’t for you.
Warren Buffett: "We will make our best deals when people are the most pessimistic."
"It's not that I don't have emotions, but I don't have emotions about the prices of stocks."
"The sillier other people get, the better your opportunities get."
The S&P 500 fell 10.5% over the last 2 trading days which was the 5th biggest 2-day decline since 1950.
