The $SPX dropped 1.2% today. That's the 21st session this year with a 1%+ decline.
Sounds dramatic? It's not. Since 1928, the average year sees 29 days like this.
Downside volatility isn't a bug — it's the feature. It's the price you pay for long-term returns. No volatility, no premium.
If you can't stomach a 1% red day without checking your portfolio three times, you're probably overexposed or underprepared. Markets don't go up in a straight line. They never have.
Risk is the entry fee. Accept it, or stay in cash and watch inflation eat your lunch.
