But you haven’t made significant money on the downside….that’s the problem. Others have because they weren’t timing the exact bottom.But it seems like some folks here that tend to think in terms of absolutes do seem to consistently miss great opportunities a few times now, both in the stock and real estate markets.[/quote]
Well I made significant money in 07-08 on the downside. But you have to have balls of steel which I no longer have as a family man. Another obvious “opportunity of a lifetime” was to short the Covid stocks such as Zoom, Peloton, Pfizer/Moderna, Zillow, etc. It was beyond obvious that those would crash and burn when Covid ended, and they have. But you have to time it right. I bought some Puts on Zoom in 2020 betting on Covid being short lived, they expired worthless.[/quote]
As a family man what’s more important than a roof over one’s head? Buying one when the fixed cost was below current rent was the job of a lifetime missed
