I'm not sure what my investment animal is, as I keep investing no matter what the cycle. I do like to get things at a good price though, they do say you make your profit when you buy something, and if you buy during the bear market, that for sure makes sense.
I bought Meta stock when he had that big fall last year I think, although they are doing well now, I think msft seems the most solid buy.
Yeah, MSFT is riding on the AI high and I do think they have some more legs in it on the way. I don't buy stocks however, at least not at the moment.
It is a scary proposition for most, because they fear it will fall further, die completely or whatever. It is easier to buy when everyone is excitedly buying the top. Weird. :)
I'm reading an investment book by an Aussie right now Richard Farleigh, you might know him from Dragons Den fame. One of his tips is Don't Be A Hero and buy assets falling in price. It is an old book, I do wonder what he might think of crypto.
I don't know of him, though it is no surprise, since I don't watch TV much, and even less Australian TV :)
The trick is though, recognizing "near the bottom" and starting there, or at the start of the climb.
