Or maybe a bit early but that doesn't mean matter at the end. Seeing the discount after you enter sucks but what sucks more is if you stop or even worse if go back.

Persistence and patience(time) in the market beats timing the market

I think I first saw this on /r/WallStreetBets and it was pretty much the opposite.

A small little upturn as part of a ridiculously long downturn.

Me either, but law of large numbers says it eventually will. Just always try to learn from your mistakes

If you want to see progress, maybe not betting on the failure and success of others is a start.

Zoom out. That's the whole point of this post, you have to zoom out more. I can't think of any market that doesn't have this pattern. Because after inflation, it costs more dollars for gas, food, home, and any stock. If any market is a flatline when things go up in price, then it went down equally, kind of like most people's work compensation rate. It either does not immediately go up, or it goes up at a lower percentage.

Even shitcoins move up, just at a lower ratio, which is the modern trending to zero.

Yes, in case you weren’t aware; some stocks do stay flat over time (losing money, as you said), and others actually go down over time (also losing money). So you can’t just “zoom out” in every scenario….
