"It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future." ~ Yogi Berra
I've been wrestling with whether to invest now or wait until the next correction. On one hand, I have data that shows the S&P index always exceeds its previous high, usually in 1-2 years or less. Recently, if one had invested in the S&P at the February 19, 2020 high before COVID lockdown, one would be up about 200% today.
Then I saw the chart below. Looks scary for two reason. The 2000-2002 bear market tool about 12 years to recover to the 2000 peak. From 2009 until now, it looks like "Stonks only go up," with only 3-5 short blips. For example, on October 28, 2025, NVDA (Nvidia) was up over 115% from its low on April 8, 2025. IMHO, the market is due for a major extended correction.
So.... I'm going to stay with the plan of holding the core, selling the peripheral holdings and wait for a 10% or greater drop to start scaling in to VOO and MGK for my kids' accounts.
