I saw a good article on Schwab the other day on trying to time the market. It was showing only minimal gains over dollar cost averaging or dumping your money in at the beginning of the year in a lump sum. The funny thing was they had a hypothetical person who bought the market at the highest day each year for 20 years. That person still came out ahead. Let me link it. The point was don’t worry about missing deals. My current portfolio is proof that the market can always surprise you with its absurdity. I did buy more before trumps speech tho, so I did make up for some of the craziness.

I am predicting 3 more months of turmoil before the rise happens again. 26k at end of year. I have no reason to think this, just spitballing. Low day is 4/20 at 19k for the Dow.
