The “buy the dip” advice sounds great… until the dip keeps dipping and dips some more. 😩

1/ Everyone says “buy the dip” like it’s the holy grail of trading wisdom. Sounds simple, right?

2/ You see a stock price drop and think, “This is my chance to buy low!” Excited, you jump in.

3/ Then the dip dips deeper. And deeper. You start questioning your life choices.

4/ Friends cheer you on: “Hold, it’ll bounce back!” Meanwhile, your portfolio looks like a rollercoaster in free fall.

5/ You Google, “How low can a dip go?” hoping for an answer that never comes.

6/ You resist panic selling, telling yourself, “It’s just a dip, not a crash.” But your heart is racing.

7/ The stock dips again. Your emotions dip right alongside it from hope to despair.

8/ You wonder if you should buy more to average down or just cut losses and run.

9/ The “dip” teaches you patience… and that markets love to test your nerves.

10/ Moral: “Buy the dip” is great advice but only if you’re ready for the dip to dip… and dip some more
