The recent market feeling of "no water" is quite obvious, with thin order books, and emotions easily causing wild swings up and down. Everyone is explaining everything with ETF capital flows and U.S. stock risk appetite; honestly, there's some truth to it, but hearing it too often can also lead you astray, ultimately turning into self-questioning about whether to buy the dip.
What I care about more now is surviving first: keep your positions lighter, don't blow all your bullets at once, avoid leverage if possible, and if you do need to take on some, do it gradually in several steps. When liquidity dries up, the easiest way to get wiped out is by clinging to the obsession of "just one more shot to turn things around"... Anyway, I'd rather miss out on some opportunities than get pierced by a single needle. Talk again next time.
