S&P 500 is barely down (~9% as of this post) after returning 23% and 24% respectively in 2023 and 2024. I wouldn't call it ugly, as someone who lived through recession.

A major correction also isn't that surprising. I started planning for it six months ago. The current market behavior is what I'd call "in model". It can always get much worse but this isn't that.

A correction has a specific meaning (drop of >10%). We aren't there yet with regards to the SP500. I think it would be more accurate to call this above average volatility.

As the adage goes, time in market beats timing the market.

Agreed, this seemed inevitable. And as a bull, I don't even think we're close to the bottom for the year

So… you're not a bull then
