The stock market goes up. The stock market goes down. Up. Down. Up. Down. In the long run, it goes up, at a rate of roughly 10-12%, which has been remarkably consistent for decades. Are you 66 and planning to retire next year? No? Then chill out.

the idea that the stock market will magically go up forever is one of the most absurd things everyone takes for granted

China doesn't give a shit about their stock market, and despite dominating the world's supply chains and production its stocks have been flat for over 15 years now. There are also cases like Japan where markets can just go flat for decades because sometimes growth actually does stall. And our stock market has been inflated for decades because of money printer + reserve currency, so what exactly is supposed to happen when we actively decide to no longer be the reserve currency?

We never know for sure what the future holds, but the market came back after the Great Depression and made back not only the losses but also the missed gains. People who try to time the market usually leap out at the wrong time and miss the days when there are big rebounds.
