Isn't it the same when people on Hacker News start telling you to exit the market.

  HN is very bearish in general. Aka permabears. If you sold on sentiment here you would always be selling, or just not buying.

    Yep, it's overall quite pessimistic from my perspective. Despite them, I've been buying diversified indexes all throughout this year. The gains have been absolutely beautiful. :)

      Because we know too much.

        Because we still somehow believe the market is rational, when nobody truly understands whats going on in the financial economy.

  What, you think you the two accounts with only a few months of posting history might be trying to spread FUD?

  Yeah, at this most recent COVID bottom, HN was saying that buying was like catching a falling knife, that the average recession dropped n% more, that it was going to get worse. I am very glad I ignored HN commentary.

  Hacker News said the same bearish things about bitcoin (ETH partially excluded) when Bitcoin was cheap, exorbitantly expensive, and all in between. Hacker News, RealVision and any -news are permabears. Fund managers and financial advisors are permabulls —- or as they say: eternal optimists. Who do you want to be like? Choose wisely my friend but you’ll find that few people with publicly voiced opinions remain in the middle. If you have a source that you think is a reliable source, please let me know!!!
