Zoomers aren’t old enough to be tired of stuff yet...

Kidding, but there’s a real value in letting other people explain their mistakes to you in a way that helps you skip those mistakes, and I see a lot of that here.

Funny, every coach I ever had said "stick to the fundamentals". Probably just experience talking.

the difference is that boomers have lived through more than one market cycle and we know an inevitable "correction/crash" is coming. The wise will take action in advance (e.g. move to cash positions) to lock in gains, then repurchase at what feels like the worst point of doom & gloom. A 50% loss needs a 100% gain to recover... Plus inflation. Factor in opportunity cost and it might be closer to 120%.

The first and last lesson in investing is DON'T LOSE MONEY.

Sadly, many have to learn firsthand that markets don't grow to the sky forever.

When ex-zoomer boomers tell zoomers to act more like ex-zoomer boomers, and not zoomer boomers, there's probably a good reason for it (at least when it comes to money).
