Time crushes volatility and levels out that jagged line. So long term investors are placid cows through crazy markets. I think, yeay, a sale! Stock up and save! It's hardest on noob investors who haven't been through the bulls and bears before, and hung in there to reap the rewards. It's a Maalox moment. But once you've been through it, you know you'll be fine and then you can say BTDT whenever it happens again. You can't predict when the recovery will happen, and by the time you hear about it, it's already happened and you've lost the gains in the market. (Even in a normal market, you can't predict the handful of days each year that account for the market's gains for the year.) Just go all in and stay in. Ya gotta be in it to win it!!!
