When you look at history, markets have gone through far worse — 30%, 40%, even 50% drawdowns — and still recovered. So a small pullback doesn’t change the long-term game.
Q1: What is a “big decline”?
To me, it’s not just -10%. That’s normal volatility. A real “Buffett-level” opportunity starts around -20% (bear market territory), and becomes compelling at -30% or more — when fear is widespread and quality stocks get dragged down with everything else.
Q2: If I were Buffett?
I’d stay patient and hold cash, waiting for true dislocations. No rushing. When the market gives you discounts on great businesses, that’s when you deploy aggressively — not during mild dips.
Q3: My current positioning
* Majority still invested (long-term mindset)
* Gradually adding on dips, not all-in
* Keeping some dry powder for deeper corrections
* Focus on strong fundamentals over hype
The key takeaway: volatility is normal, but discipline is rare.
