ArcticCrusher Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Another day swing of almost 1%. I think I read that 2017 had 18 days of swings of more than 1% and we are already over 30 so far this year and counting. What some fail to realize is 2017 was one of the calmest years ever for the markets and returned over 25%, can't say I remember another in this type of cycle. Amazing.

Yet regardless if or when it does, it doesn’t change a long term investing strategy. Time in, not timing. Bull markets ALWAYS last longer than Bear markets.
