My thinking changed in March of 2020 when the Fed printed trillions of $$ and just started backstopping the market at Noon one day. They bailed out the rich before the rich felt a thing. They will do it again. It creates inflation but you are less affected by that inflation if you are invested in the market that they are pumping.
I like that index funds diversify and rotate in and out of stocks as they rise or fall. (And they can rise or fall BECAUSE they are indexed). It is a big crazy game that seems like a house of cards yet it continues.
I like your strategy of buying at regular intervals. Takes emotion and guessing out of the equation.
