That really comes down to your own intuition, expertise and guts really.

But what I said isn't wrong. If you suspect the market will crash even further, and then it does, I save more money by selling early into the dip them buying the stock back at a point lower in the dip.

Stock market has been falling since November. Say I sold in later November, then bought back today, I definitely would be saving money as opposed to riding this out.

Hypothetically if the stocks rose December 2021 to January 2022 instead, then I lose money as that's pretty much the risk of investing at all in stocks.

That works both ways. It's impossible to know if a particular stock will ever rebound. In fact it can continue to crash for good in the sense that it never rebounds to its old glory.

That really comes down to your own intuition, expertise, guts, and the gamble you're willing to risk really.

yeah but, experience and studies proves your feelings wrong. and take today, for example. my portfolio dropped by $2400 at the lowest i saw, and now i'm down $1100. if i sold when i saw how bad it was all doing, i'd have lost that before somewhat clawing back some. it just isn't good business to sell on red days.
