Need some pep talk

Starting your investment career in 12/2019 was random.
Getting that bonus and investing it in 02/2020 was unlucky.
As for investing that pension fund money on Monday, that was…

Not quite unlucky. That was a very conscious decision. But that’s just short-term noise. As he himself probably said best: The more time passes the less will it matter.

I am a firm believer in sturgeon’s law. Both actually. And I think it applies greatly to investment “news” and advice: 90% of it is probably best to be ignored. But then “nothing is always absolutely so”.

I’d say it’d screw you up way more - mentally and probably financially as well - if you were to reverse or give up this belief (of buying and staying the course) now. I have little doubt that over the mid- to long-term, it’s going to be one of the best convictions to have.
