Every meaningful dip in history? A discount in hindsight.
Since 1929, $SPX bear markets average -30%, lasting ~1 year. Bulls? 2-3x gains over multiple years.
2020 COVID crash: -30%+ recovered in months.

The real damage isn't the drop. It's panic-selling the bottom, then watching the rip without you.
Biggest single-day pumps? Often buried in the weeks right after capitulation. Miss those, your long-term returns get wrecked.
