31. I think 10-20% is a correction as we just entered one.

I agree that corrections aren’t generally things to fret about, but each one should be taken as its own thing while being mindful of historical trends. Like the pandemic era crash, there are historically unique factors at play here for the US. 2025 is not 2026, although the market appeared resilient in the face of oppressive and somewhat arbitrary tariffs. It’s okay to hear different takes on this because undue market enthusiasm is one reason why markets get overpriced in the first place. The NYSE has had a great run, but as they say past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. At some point the optimists will be wrong, but I hope that’s still down the road a bit.
