Title says it all really, but for a full disclaimer:

No one on this site can 100% predict if the market is going up or down!

Having said that, there are so many comments ever since we finally had a small pump this week that are just desperate to let you know how much of a 'trap' it is and that you should be selling right now to avoid the guaranteed dump that is coming.

And yes I was here to remember that these were the EXACT same words that were said by so many back in Nov 2020 and continued right up until about half way up the bull run when they realised they had absolutely missed out.

Maybe we drop further, maybe we don't, macro economic figures are finally starting to look 'better' but it could be years before 'better' means 'good' and maybe even further before 'good' means 'great'.

What I'm trying to say is that don't let the poison naysayers cloud your plan, take a long term look at your finances and decide from there what you should be doing and remember that many people sold in Nov 2020 and brought in Nov 2022...
