Anyway back to the OP: when you buy stocks, you are buying a VERY long-term stream of earnings. Like, decades. [/quote]
Certainly true and how I’ve behaved over the long term.
However, I have less than a decade to go to retirement, so decisions I make now have a shorter amount of time to equalize than decisions I’ve made over the last several decades. Therefore, when I jump in with any more money is more important than it was before.
I don’t really even have to put more money in, but if I know the market is down due to overreaction, why not ride it back up? These opportunities don’t come along all that often. Perhaps once a decade it appears.
