Sometimes, no, that's the end of it.

And we're off to the races.

That's why it's so hard to know when the bottom is in, when a bear market does bottom.

Every one we've had this decade...

Someone has said, there's no way that was the bottom.

We're going to roll over again.

There's no way COVID has to be worse because it's not improving.

Inflation still hasn't improved.

There's no way that's the bottom.

The thing is just like no one knows at the time.

It's hard to know for sure.

Is this just a dead cat bounce in volatility or is this the market actually, no, it's reversing course and it's going to go right back up.

I think you have to have a durable enough plan to survive a wide range of environments.

I think people learn that this decade too.

There's different investments that work differently under different economic circumstances, high inflation, low inflation, high growth, low growth.

A lot of people now are like, well, we're not going to have any more nasty recession or nasty bear markets.

Like they all just are V-shaped bottoms.

That's kind of hopeful thinking that you're not going to have one of these more extended periods because we haven't, again, we haven't had a recession.

So I think the way that I tell people is only hold enough stocks that you hold during a bull market and a bear market.

Don't try to go overboard during a bull market and then pull back during a bear market.
