As a fairly new Mustachian, and recently buying into simple investing etc and not trying to time the market, I have to admit I am disappointed I went along with it as I have done. I threw in the rest of my investment money in late Jan which seems like it will be the peak for some time now, and have basically been frustrated since. I know a couple of months is no time for many of you, but I would have preferred to have kept more cash on hand to play the volatility, as a couple of friends I have have done. One just made an easy $20k flipping SQ. I have read Bogleheads, I have read A Simple Path to Wealth, and I am reading the Millionaire next door. But as far as I am concerned, I am off to a horrible start. And I do not think things will end well in 2018, and have all this money invested in the hopes it is the right thing to do.
Now someone will gleefully post 'top is in' as a response to this, and maybe I deserve it. But I feel pretty disappointed and even a little angry about this. Ultimately its my own fault, I make my own decisions. I hope I am proven wrong.
