I guess that I am a contrarian after all because I didn’t see the signs that FlyerInHi was clearly seeing in July 2018.
The stock market was expensive at that time, but it got more expensive today and I am still executing my strategy of conservative market exposure bundled with minor holding of some “risky” stocks (that has been 35%+ YTD)
I guess at the end of the day, I would agree with scaredy’s comment. We mostly just project our inner belief into the outside world. I always don’t believe myself that much…therefore my investment strategy has always been prepared for shit to happen in either direction. It probably is easier and more lucrative just to blindly long, but I doubt that will help me sleep better at night.
