I just went through Duluth on my way to the Boundary Waters for a Scout canoe trip for a week. No disrespect tot he hearty soles who live there, but I would rather deal with any climate change coming than live there in the Winter. I'd bet they would enjoy a bit of global warming that time of year.

On the green topic, it will be interesting to see how the new bill that just passed the Senate impacts large company profits, the market, inflation and the US economy. I have only heard what is in the news which I'm sure is largely biased both ways depending on who the source is. I'm not optimistic but time will tell.

Opporunity, opportunity, opportunity, all I see is opportunity. LOL

Seriously, I do think there will be some serious pain and a storm to weather, but it had to happen. Things were out of control. With change comes opportunity if we are open to seeking it.

Not ready to jump in yet, I'd guess we still have more downside but it depends. When the fed signals they are about done with rate hikes and / or we are close to the mid-term elections I'll start looking again. Of course world events could certainly change that - Ukraine and China / Taiwan could spoil things.

Yep, ready to deploy cash sitting on the sidelines when I think the "sale" has peaked. As of now, the S&P at 3300 is my planned entry point.

Not trying to time the market, my gut just tells me we still have a ways to go down before we go up.

You're both correct. It is a great buying opportunity. I too am waiting for it to settle a little before I start buying again. These last couple weeks have just been very heavy drops for me. Glad I'm not close to retirement age.

I’ve been buying in August and September, even though we have all the unknowns listed above. I’m not trying to catch the absolute bottom, as it’s a fools errand. Still hanging onto some cash, but picking up shares on down days. With no commission fees, I don’t see any reason not to…

Phoenix must be the outlier... It's crazy here, inflation is nuts, cost of living rising like crazy yet people just keep moving here. The last 3 houses that sold in our neighborhood sold to friends or family of neighbors with no realtors involved for still very large numbers. I do see some realtor signs stay up longer than before but it seems if it's a desirable place in decent shape, it sells pretty quickly.

We are still just treading water, holding our cards tight and collecting divvies. I thank Greg Weld regularly for getting me into this type of investing and also wonder regularly what he would be thinking and doing during these crazy non-sensical times.
