Let's discuss what people mean when they say "buy the dip"

I've never really bought in to the whole "buy the dip" philosophy for long term investing. I've always figured when you find a stock that you like for the long term, buy and hold. Trying to find dips on which to buy just seems like you're going to be buying in at a higher and higher price over time compared to if you just bought now (assuming you were right about the stock in the first place). Look at Bitcoin, for example. It's down 10% today so if you like bitcoin, you should be "buying the dip" right now, right? But if you like the investment, didn't you like it a week ago too? And you could have bought in for 8% lower then than you could buy today. It would have been much more financially beneficial to buy then, rather that waiting for it to go up so it could drop and you could "buy the dip".

Electric vehicle maker Lucid Motors is close to a deal to go public through a merger with a blank-check company, creating an entity valued at as much as $15 billion, according to people familiar with the plans. The company targets the luxury end of the market and its CEO, Peter Rawlinson, was previously Tesla's chief engineer on the Model S sedan. Lucid would be one of the largest SPAC deals to be announced since the rush started. The company plans to start U.S. deliveries of its $169,000 electric sedan, the Air EV, in the second quarter. A more affordable version of the Air, and a battery-electric SUV, are also in the pipeline. Link in bio for more.

● Too often, we stubbornly hitch our futures to bad ideas, University of Pennsylvania organizational psychologist Adam Grant says. In his new book, Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know, he writes that many people fail to reassess their careers and investments quickly enough and don’t make changes until it’s too late.

After a year of lockdowns and restrictions, travelers seem to be looking for three things in a vacation: open space, safety and sunshine. While the global travel industry continues to struggle, trips to Antarctica (yes, Antarctica) are 25% up on pre-pandemic levels, according to aggregator TravelStride. Africa is also having a moment, with some ready to put down serious cash to avoid crowds and virus hotspots. In the U.S., Miami is at the leading edge of a cautious return to domestic tourism. Meanwhile Israel’s turbo-charged vaccine campaign has effectively doubled as tourism marketing, though borders remain closed — for now. In need of a break? Tap the link in bio for some inspiration.

More than a half-million Americans have died as a result of the novel coronavirus, the first time a country has reached the grim milestone since the pandemic began. Deaths related to Covid-19 have surpassed 2.46 million worldwide. The U.S. leads all countries with more than twice the number recorded by the next closest, Brazil, according to Bloomberg’s virus tracker. Hospitalizations and deaths have fallen since peaking in the U.S. in early January, and more than 1.3 million Americans, on average, receive vaccines each day. There’s still a growing threat, though, from fast-spreading mutations that have emerged from the U.K., South Africa and Brazil. Link in bio for more.
