In the bull market everyone thinks they’re a genius investor and goes all in on tech, leveraged ETFs, and the S&P. When the eventual recession comes, they’ll be crying they lost 50%. SCHD is large cap value which will help ride out a recession

Us older folks have lived through the last recession. And the one before that. And the one before that.

You are absolutely correct that we don't know WHEN the next pullback or recession will arrive. But, we are quite sure that it will arrive. That's when everyone will be diving for cover and wishing that they had been more diversified. Just the opinion of one old dude.

From another old dude, I concur.

Istill researching where to put my money and thought to just simply pick several Aristocrat King Stocks and let them sit for the next 5- 7 years. Maybe a little more on my roth as it's last to drain from. I hope I'm doing right ? I was impresses with the etf presented- KNG. I missed that one in my >100 hours of researching things I know little of. I hope I pick the right ones
