I get it–time in the market beats timing the market–but fuck me man, if I had just waited a few more months, I could have started positions at much, much better entry points. I wouldn't have had to baghold for 2+ years to break even, rather I would have 2+ years of gains. I have no more cash to “just DCA/buy the dip”; I bought the “dip” months ago. I can barely average down in my stocks now and it just pains me to see them fall so heavily to take advantage of this time. Knowing my shit luck, by the time I get some extra cash to deploy, markets will be back higher and I missed out on such a prime opportunity. I am invested for the long term and don't need the money I have invested, but still, I'm just going to be further behind. Really, really frustrating.
