Global recession fears grow as factory activity shrinks

I won’t retire the next three decades. So I see no need to sell. I keep buying index funds, the same amount every month. Some months they are expensive, some months they are cheap. I rarely check in on the current worth. In the end it will even out.

That's something you might think will happen, but you have no idea as you cannot predict the future.

That's true but if you think about the scenarios in which growth won't happen you probably will have bigger problems than an under performing stock portfolio.

Well I do have an idea. But yes, it’s true that I cannot predict the future.

Except the Japanese crash. If you started investing 30 years ago in japan with dollar cost averaging. Right now you'd be almost below your average purchase price. Just take a quick look at the nikkei 225
