I couldn't agree more, especially with your title, if you get septic in terms of a bear market you will hold until the prices beat the ground, and the opposite is also true, if you second guess yourself about a bull market it is very likely that you will miss out on the rise of the prices.
In my opinion we have all the right moves allining to repeat history, and even if that doesn't happen, "the worst" is long gone, the hard correction has passed and now we will see a different type of volatility (if you know what I mean).
