Hard to disagree. I think with any of it it’s not to get the timing perfect, but rather, good enough. The way I see it though, is the markets haven’t fully accepted the full brunt of interest take hikes. A recession is more or less a certainty. It’s a question of how bad will it be and how much will rates rise to mitigate the impact of a recession. Things seem to change monthly where the key rate a year from now can be 3%. Three months back the high was 2%.

All this means for me is personally holding off purchasing more until at least July/August. I put in quite a bit on a slight banking dip in March and regret it completely as I’m down 10% on that. Plus what I had in before. If by some stretch I need that money then I’d lose. So timing it a bit is certainly important as you don’t want to buy when there’s still solid downside. At least in my view.
