The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

That’s why I invest more in the broad market whenever there’s a steep drop. No, I don’t try to figure out whether stocks are objectively cheap, because I’ve learned market yardsticks can’t tell us where the market is headed next.

Instead, I simply take my cues from the magnitude of the market’s decline, and the bigger it is, the more enthusiastic I am about buying. That might sound naïve. But after decades of investing, buying aggressively during a bear market—coupled with leaning heavily toward stocks and favoring index funds—are the only ways I know to get an edge.
