You may be overestimating humanity here. You think most people learned to weather the storms?

Yes, I do. I think otherwise nobody would be shit talking the economy, because a surprise crash that scoops up stop losses would be far more profitable for everyone involved.

The fact is there's way more individual investors now, who hold longer term without listening to Financial Advisors, who buy dips and never enable stop losses. Individual investors can now buy the dip in real time from the bathroom at work during a crash, whereas in '08 it was still mostly making phonecalls to banks, firms and advisors.

This subreddit alone is proof. There's *13 million* here who are probably 90% new investors, who don't listen to accountants or advisors, who know that holding long term is a good idea, and that if you believe in a company stock and it dips you buy at those lows. And this is just 1 place on this one website. Spread that across all of Reddit, then the broader web of new online investors that aren't on Reddit but know the same stuff, and I think you've got a sizeable chunk of investors who do actually know how to weather the storm.
