The most anti-human nature thing about US stocks is:

When it drops 20%, you don’t dare to buy.
When it drops another 20%, you’re even less willing to buy.
Then it rallies back, and you start regretting it.
In the past couple of years, it’s been painfully obvious:
SK hynix, the AI HBM leader—after the pullback, it keeps making new highs.
MU, Micron—everyone in the market keeps saying memory has topped, yet AI demand pulls it back.
SNDK, a storage turnaround—the stock price has been trending upward after the reversal.
LITE, the AI optical module track—when it drops, nobody looks; when it rises, everyone chases.
CRWD—after a big selloff, it still reaches new highs.
DELL—AI server cycle; pullbacks are an opportunity.
SOXL is even more absurd: the triple-leveraged semiconductor ETF. When people are panicking, you dare to buy—and the rebound is faster than emotions can recover.
The biggest risk in US stocks isn’t really the decline.
It’s when it’s dropping and your hands start trembling.
