There's plenty of APC to be had elsewhere if this isn't your bag.

Pilots of success are type A, and inline with the psychology its only fitting to believe it can be done better in another way.

The difference being, some of us actually have a MBA, and even retired early from other successful careers to fulfill the dream of being a professional pilot despite knowing that we would never get paid our true worth. But that's ok, because we know how to make money elsewhere (and do).
Meanwhile...back at the OP topic...

Btw, for those of you who don't know, the price chart above is a 5 year view of the S&P 500, with each individual price bar representing approx. 2 months of trading.
Note how the multi-year trend has been decisively broken in Aug. of last year, with current price now heading below the lows of last year.

Like flying, anyone can learn how to do it. Like flying, most don't bother to learn how.

There has NEVER EVER been a 10 year period where the market was down as a whole.
. Invest in Index Funds and don't sell to lock in the losses. I'm already maxing out 401k and will continue to do so. As well as continuing to invest.
It's not about timing the market it's about the time In the Market.
