Anyone know when to get back into market?
- Thread starter Mandala
- Start date
I'm definitely no expert but from what I've read timing the market is very hard if not impossible.
What I'm more interested in slowly transfer out of tech into utilities and other recession proof industries for the next couple of years. Tough to pull the trigger at this point without selling off at a huge loss.

The S&P has dropped only about 10%. Big deal. If this is worrying you, you should really evaluate what you purchase and perhaps the stock market in general.
If they're good stocks, keep them. If they're bad stocks, why did you buy them in the first place.
Just keep periodic purchasing.
Having lived through 2009 where the portfolio dropped about 60%, this is meh.

Stocks could fall much, much more. Impossible to tell. If you have cash, it’s good to dollar cost average in.

It is not the normal vagaries of the market this time, it has been intentionally been done by a very
unpredictable Trump so it is not the market that one needs to worry about.
People will always buy energy, health and food
Bond market should be safe and cdn banks for their dividends and tariffs
cannot touch them but a downturn will affect their profits. Go ask the experts is my best advice
but they are often wrong

Ah, "it's different this time". Neat, no one has ever said that before.
Shrug, keep your cool and you'll do ok
Don't catch a falling knife. Don't even try to time the bottom. Watch it. Wait till things stabilize then start going up, then go in in maybe 3 or 4 different lots.
In the mean time, sit in some liquid fixed income instrument.
With this strategy, you won't time the bottom but you'll sleep well during all this chaos. If it 3.5 years, so be it.

I just continue to purchase as I always have. As you say, 4 years from now...
U.S. and Canadian stocks tend to trade places. For example, for ten years after the tech crash ,U.S. stocks did nothing while Canadian stocks did well. Up until very recently, U.S. stocks left Canadian stocks in the dust. Jim Rogers, who nailed the commodity supercycle beginning at the turn of the century but has been wrong about everything ever since, talked about 15 to 20 year cycles of good commodity performance. However, they seem to last only ten years.
i personally think another 10% drop. the full impact of the tariffs has not been felt yet.
The surest time to get back in is when the entire world gleefully celebrates when TRUMP dies of a heart attack.
Trump and his cabinet refusing to back down. No deals will be made in the next few weeks, they said.
Meanwhile, retaliatory tariffs will send the markets down another 20% over the next few weeks.
It’s going to get really bad, and with a bad CPI due to tariffs, there could be a major global meltdown. Be very careful .

I absolutely guarantee you that hundreds if not thousands of people will be lose enough money to be financially wiped out and may end up taking their lives, like in all other crashes.
Things are about to get much, much worse.
