@michaelyoon9355 It is not overvalued it is has just gone through a massive growth period which is right within the S&P 500 natural growth. Buying now you maybe buying at a peak period which may take a good 15 years to get back again or you maybe buying at a low period depending on how you time it. People will say not to time the market but if you get a 300% growth over a period do you really think from that period it is going to grow another 300%?

In the last 30 years the S&P 500 has produced three monstrous periods of growth with there being a massive decline after each with a recovery again to a peak period. There is nothing special about the most recent period which peaked in 2021 other than it lasting a few years longer than previous periods. In the past there has been some truly spectacular periods of growth. So after this period of decline if you can find the low in the market you will probably find a massive growth period afterwards.

Nope. It keeps growing and has been doing so for the last 100 and matches the economic business cycles with the up and down periods. We are now about to enter a period of more expensive capital so we may see a period in the general economics of wild swings which may translate to investing. There is also the fact in the last 50 years it has become very popular for workers in America to invest their money at a regular pace so that they can get growth over a 40 year period rather than a 3 year period so there is more of an expectation of slower growth.

If you want to learn investment then you need to get the book Intelligent investor so as to widen your knowledge. It was a relevant book 70 years ago and still is today because the concepts are basic and true.
