      It’s not. Your initial paragraph only makes sense if everything happens in the same point in time. When this bubble bursts it will start a market crash that spans multiple years, not a one time thing that you have to buy into today or miss it.

        I think this is a misunderstanding. I am talking about “extra money”, that you should not have available to but a potential dip. Instead you ignore the ups and downs but invest each month (or whatever your rhythm is). The key point here is that you cannot time the market.

          The misunderstanding seems to be that you define “buying the dip” only as an act of active market timing. But in a prolonged crash you will automatically buy the “dip” with your monthly investments.

            I answered to “If the bubble pops there will be THE opportunity to buy and profit when the market moves up again”, which is active market timing. Yeah if the market is not a straight line you will buy a dip from time to time. If you want to understand me wrong, there is nothing more I can do about it.
