There is always some reason the market should be down

Every time I come here, 2 or 3 out of the top 10 posts here are always saying why the market is overvalued or why the market should be down but isn't. War, tariffs, geopolitics, AI bubble, big tech concentration, protests, layoffs, etc.

The market has always been like this. There's always something that should be causing the market to crash like the Great Depression but isn't. When I first started investing seriously in 2012-2013, it was always the "taper tantrum" and the Greece debt crisis. People thought the fed pulling back on asset purchase would tank the market and cause another 08 crash. The 08 crash was still fresh in everyone's mind. People also thought Greece debt crisis would cause a contagion crash too.

Turns out, 2012 was one of the best times to invest as the mobile boom fully took off. So many companies 10x, 100x, 1000x since 2012 if you chose well.

Stop reading the headlines so much. They're designed to scare you, get you share, get you to subscribe. They always exaggerate. You're not an expert on war, middle east, AI after reading a few news articles. You're just not. You're not going to be able to predict the future. Just invest anyways. If the world collapses, there are far bigger issues. Not to mention, it's much better to own assets than cash almost always. Guess what they'll do if the economy crashes? Print until your money is worthless.

The people who are always posting about how the market should be crashing are just hopeful that it does crash so they can buy in. That's it. That's their entire reason for those posts. I was like this in 2012-2013 too. I said the market is going to crash like 08. Don't buy. I just wanted an 08 crash again so I could enter cheap.
