Been thinking about this with markets falling lately.
Everyone says “invest 20-30% of savings” but when things actually go down, that logic kinda gets tested.
So curious:
-
what % of your savings is in stocks right now?
-
did you increase it in this dip or holding back?
And more importantly…
has anyone here actually taken a loan / used leverage to buy this dip?
Feels like dips = opportunity, but also could just be catching a falling knife.
Where do you draw the line between conviction and just overdoing it?
Would love some real experiences, not textbook stuff.
