Just put your money into stocks! Buying 10 shares of Apple right now would cost $2,000 but once it bounces back to the price it was at before the dip you'd have $2,500! That's a profit of $500 in just a few years!
That's actually a pretty good return, but only helps people with cash lying around, which generally are already rich fucks.
It also assumes this is the bottom. That $2000 could become $1000 and it may take years and years and years to get to $2500 instead.
There is no indication this is the bottom.
Exactly. A 25% return is amazing, but turning $1 into $1.25 isn't really that impressive. Turning $1,000,000 into $1,250,000 is. The two returns are the same but one made 25 cents and the other made 3x the yearly median income of a US citizen. "Buying the dip" only makes a difference if you're already filthy rich.
Ron Howard voice:
It was not the bottom. In fact the bottom would not be discovered until the food riots of 2026.
We're a little behind schedule.
Exactly. All the morons planning on buying the 'dip' before EU nations even announce their response to these tariffs are about to hurt themselves in confusion
it is not the bottom yet.
