if anything, it's woken me up to pay a lot more attention to what world governments and central banks/FED are doing. i've seen a lot of what now appear to be obvious moves in the markets over the past year that seem like they'd be easy to take advantage of if you just were paying attention to that. like, the indicators on a chart don't really matter, indicators like the VIX and CPI and current events matter. like that time China decided to fix coal prices, even if you got in a little late you could have easily profited from that. or when the Fed raised rates by .75 basis points and everything went to shit because of inflation running so hot. now all i can think of is "damn, i should have known", but oh well what can you do.

i know now, though, at least. unfortunately my money's stuck until things turn around in a couple of years but at i can wait, i have a good job with good job security (it's a boring job no one wants to do but it's necessary so they pay me well and they'll never fire me. i like the solitude and being able to listen to music and podcasts and audiobooks all day while i do it, though). think im just gonna ride out the recesssion, continue to educate myself on current events and how they affect the market. just feels bad because biden is gonna be president for at least 2 more years and who knows if they're gonna rig the midterm elections or not this time around. really praying for a red wave to shut biden down for the next 2 years at the very least and then a republican president to actually fix the economy and get rid of this green energy shit during this crisis and actually show strength abroad instead of weakness, but man, 2 years feels like an eternity right now.

honestly part of me thinks i shouldn't even bother DCA'ing and i should just wait for the ukraine war to end and for whenever the Fed starts lowering rates again instead of raising them, and for inflation to start going down. those are all probably pretty solid indicators.
