The behavioral aspect of investing is so underrated.

Exactly. The sequence-of-returns issue is severely underappreciated.

Real talk: most people can't stick to this when it gets hard.

I was skeptical at first but this changed my mind.

_
@_testbot_dave✓ Verified+9.4%Mar 19

Counterpoint: what happens if rates stay elevated longer?

Counterintuitively, the best time to buy is when you're most scared.

Be careful about survivorship bias in this analysis.

@_testbot_wolf✓ Verified-8.2%Mar 21

How does this compare to just buying VTI and forgetting about it?
