Time to go long stocks or wait for a bigger dip?
Stocks have pulled back about 7% or so and they are holding up currently, time to get long or stay away?
I have been wanting to add some stock positions to my portfolio for months now, ever since they really ramped up the printing press back in March.
I think crypto will do well but I also think stocks will do very well also.
I think the inflation will spill over into a lot of assets, and stocks will be one of the main beneficiaries.
Anyways, do we buy here or wait for lower prices?

I recently shorted stocks back a couple weeks ago because they just kept going up.
I had to average up a few times before I ultimately got my 7% dip, but I eventually got it.
Now the question becomes whether we hold up here or is there more downside to come?
I personally think we are likely to see lower prices in the coming weeks as we get closer to a controversial election as well as no new stimulus likely in the cards.
However, if stimulus comes out of nowhere I think we are back at new highs fairly quickly, and I think more stimulus is coming eventually.
Which is why I don't want to try and time the bottom too much and miss out.
My plan is to buy a little here around 334 on SPY, and then average down if we breakdown from here over the coming days and weeks.
What do you think?
