If people were buying stonk it was a sign that the econony was good. If people were not buying stonk it was a sign that foreign interference was tricking them and they were failing the econony, which was good. parenti-hands

if people are not buying stonk it's because they're being fearful, and you should be greedy (buy stonk) when others are fearful

It's funny because all of this is true historically speaking. Over the last like 100 years, it has never been a bad time to buy stonk. I think it's understandable that people whose grandparents weren't alive the last time it was a bad idea to buy stonk think that a bad time to buy stonk will never come. Americans have been on easy mode for so long.

Well yeah it's always a bad time to buy individual stonks, as long as you don't have the benefit of hindsight. Gotta stay diversified

It's called insider trading, not hindsight trading.
