Hi that is why the advice is simple but not easy to follow.
The best thing I heard from FIRE people is not to look at it once you put in because losses and gain can affect you emotionally and most cannot control their emotions.
I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

So basically it is letting all the profits gain so far be wiped off by not looking during a market crash and let them restart rolling from scratch again.
Another expert will say why not take the profit gain so far by offloading (instead of wasting it by not looking) then buy back again after the crash and let them roll from scratch again......

The quickest, right way to become a millionaire is to consistently invest over a long period of time. It’s not shocking or flashy, but it works. Don’t get distracted by market swings, trendy stocks or get-rich-quick schemes.

US and Singapore are different. In US, you just need to connect the waterpipe to the shares. They will pay dividend consistently. But for foreigners, there is a tax of around 30% when you received it. Also you will lost some money on currency exchanges. If you invest in Sg, the dividend is miserable. Some even ask you to top up more cash like those REITs while they boast about the increase in portfolios.

If one can predict crash accurately to take profit..then cN also short to make a fortune.
If you are not top expert you probably cannot do it well.
So ordinary investors should not try to time.
While the market crash many times only one time, it undo 10yr of investing during financial crisis if you time perfectly....most of the time it only correct tk 6 months to 15mknths low so all your knvestment before that makes money.
The simple advice given takes into consideration many scenarios....one just need to follow and don't act smart.
I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
