We had 4.5 months at the bottom in the $3000s. Smart money was filling up the bags. But I saw plenty of people on here adamant that it would continue crashing to 2000s or 1000s or some ever said it'd drop to like $800 haha. I remember arguing with someone that people need to be buying the bottom ($3000s) to get the best deal, and he was arguing that its better to buy higher later on once it has started going up (makes no sense to me!).
Investing into any financial market is a personal choice and if someone waited long enough to see the bottom it is their individual choice and those penny investment does not make any difference in the market, so who is crying about it, basically no one, there are players who like to invest on seeing a big rally to earn the profit and get out before the rally ends. Everyone has their thoughts and ideas on when and where to invest. What I am trying to tell is that, it is not a big deal if someone misses out at the bottom.
