You initiated the focus on hindsight data to make a point that wasn't supported. I simply pointed it out.

There were arrests in Santa Ana & Fountain Valley yesterday, followed by violent protests & arrests in downtown Santa Ana. Maybe the gated communities of Irvine are enough to protect the non-Latinx's.

The more common sticker I see is "I drove a Tesla before Elon went crazy." So I assume all these virtue signaling Tesla drivers are embarrassed due to their implicit support of Musk's politics.

LOL... Dip buying is not time in the market though; It's timing the market. You just made the perfect argument for why timing "will make you more money".

One of my neighbors has a new sticker, "This is my last Tesla" on their trunk.

I'm not playing a game; I'm pointing out that celebrating 25% gains in the past two months only works if you ignore your major losses leading up to that point. Your conclusion that "time in the market > timing the market" is not supported by the evidence you presented.

Maybe, but it's also political. Newsom & Bass' political futures are going up in smoke. Trump is reinforcing the optic that they are doing nothing (which is true), and he is bringing attention to their statements attacking police and defending rioters on national television for everybody to see.

The crazy thing is that by waving Mexican flags and engaging in violent destruction, the protestors have validated Trump's arguments for why we need immigration enforcement. It would have been so much more effective to have peaceful, solemn protestors with signs saying "I pick your fruit", "I...

I'm not cherry picking. I'm extending the timeline back to election day to show that the gains were simply the result of prior losses being recovered. It's not the victory you make it out to be for long term buy-and-hold investing.

There are basically 13 weeks of vacation if you count all the breaks (Summer, Thanksgiving, Winter, Spring), plus 10 sick/personal days per year, plus the option to start collecting retirement in her early 50's. Thank you California tax payers!

Another disadvantage to EV's -- When rioters target and light them on fire, the fumes are far more toxic due to the lithium ion batteries.

That's only for new money. Account balances that existed on Election Day have not done any better than a savings account, and suffered through some nasty volatility. Time in the market did not win. In this instance, timing was better.

My wife has her Masters and 20+ years in, so she has maxed out the teachers' payscale and makes $140k.

California is squandering the money. Cancelling the grants is a great idea.

It's basically back to the level it was at when Trump got elected, so no gains in exchange for some of the worst volatility in market history. A savings account would have been better.

Redfin says Riverside, Los Angeles, Anaheim, and San Diego are all buyers markets now.

Home prices and rates will both be going down in the near term, so that will help. Over the long run, there is a structural imbalance where not enough young people of prime home buying age will be entering the market to scoop up homes being liquidated by Boomers or their estates. This will...

That was good analysis.

So in a sense, you are confirming morekaos' point. The economics of EV's only makes sense if the government heavily subsidizes the cost. The depreciation is real, but the 99% of tax payers who don't drive electric subsidized your loss.
