This chart should be framed and hung in every investor’s office.

From 2021 → late 2025 the S&P 500 went from ~4,000 → 6,886 (+70%+), while the entire way up we were bombarded with:
- “SELL” – Michael Burry
- “Worst crash since 1929” – John Hussman
- “86% drop coming” – Harry Dent
- “Biggest crash in history has started” – Robert Kiyosaki
- “Third most expensive market ever, recession imminent” – David Rosenberg
- …and literally dozens more “100% certain” doomsday calls

Every single red bubble on this chart = a famous expert screaming that the sky was falling.
And every time the market just… kept climbing.

Here's what's important to understand: "experts" produce lots of noise.
Waiting on the sidelines for the “all-clear” from the gurus is the riskiest move of all.
The opportunity cost is brutal.
Missing the best days (which usually come right after the scariest headlines) destroys returns more than any crash ever could.
Stay invested is much better than trying to time the experts.
Time in the market still beats timing the market.

You'd better save this chart the next time someone sends you another “crash is coming” article!
