My answer is: I’ve started looking for opportunities, but I’m not assuming the bottom is in.
Market pullbacks can create attractive entry points, but nobody knows how far prices might fall. Rather than trying to time the perfect bottom, I prefer to focus on companies with solid long-term potential and valuations that make sense.
📈 What Would I Buy?
I’m particularly interested in growth companies whose share prices have fallen because of market sentiment rather than a major deterioration in their businesses.
For example, $QQQ gives exposure to major Nasdaq-100 companies. If the pullback creates more attractive valuations while earnings prospects remain intact, it could be worth considering for a long-term portfolio.
However, I wouldn’t buy simply because QQQ has fallen. Interest rates, company earnings and valuations still matter.
💰 Would I Invest Everything Now?
Definitely not. I’d rather spread purchases over time than commit all my available investment money at once.
If the market falls further, I would still have some flexibility. If it rebounds, at least part of my money would already be invested.
Of course, this approach doesn’t guarantee better returns, and I would only invest money I could afford to leave in the market.
🎯 My Strategy
I’m not trying to catch the exact bottom. I’m looking for reasonable prices, strong business fundamentals and opportunities that fit my long-term goals.
If the market drops another 10%, I wouldn’t automatically panic or buy more. I’d first reassess why prices were falling and whether the investment case had changed.
💬 What about you, Tigers?
Have you started buying this pullback, are you waiting for a clearer signal, or have you run out of cash to add to your positions?
Sometimes, staying patient is just as important as taking action.
