Rant: My decade-long wait for a market crash taught me a harsh lesson about patience.

I held onto a significant cash position for years, anticipating a major downturn that never arrived as expected. This strategy ultimately prevented my capital from participating in the steady growth of the equities market over that period. Do you believe there is a point where being too patient becomes a genuine risk to investment outcomes?

Ten years on the bench is a tough gig. The market's quiet growth can sting more than a loud crash. Been there in my own way.

My friend Dave watched seven quiet years pass, and it broke his heart.

A decade? You waited ten whole years?
