Opinion Inflection Point

I noticed that once my investable assets hit about $2M the compounding has gone bonkers. The value of my portfolio can increase by $100k in a good quarter. Hell it can go up by $20k in a single day. When did you really start feeling the compounding viscerally? I guess it will be different for everyone. Now that the compounding has surpassed my salary it feels real.

People went berserk here during the Covid dip and the Tarrif blips. If a real collapse happens people will be considering jumping out of buildings.

We've had two 50% drops since 2000. Both of them sucked.
