Do you think it is sound to grab all risk-adverse assets during bull market and riskier assets like equities and REITs during bear market?

During a Bull Market (like now), u grab all the risk-adverse assets like Govt. Bonds/Gold/Yen/Franc since their price is low as everyone is focus on riskier assets like Equities/REITS. When a Bear Market comes around, the price of the previous category all shoots up and that when u take profit. In turn u buy up all those latter asset as equity will be at all time low. Hold them til the nxt Bull Market then u take profit again. Then repeat...

Yeah you are definitely correct in a sense ah, i mean thats in theory and seems at first glance to be true. It easy to relate economic downturn to lower prices for etfs/equities, but u have to understand may not necessarily happen too. Not sure if u study economics( i studied in jc ah), like everytime there must be this term 'ceteris paribus', means certain factors must be there for some stuff to happen. So not necessarily bearish/downturn then buy. For me maybe i just monitor the prices, like at the historical chart before i set a price in comfortable to buy with.

Is the market currently in a bull or bear? I want to get in the market but it always sounds like a crash is due soon?

March 2023: Are you now allocating more to crypto or equities or both? Historically, one makes the most money buying undervalued assets in a bear market, NOT during a bull market.

Should a young investor (mid 20s) look into income generating assets like high dividend yield equity and REITs? Or should we focus more on growth/value stocks?

Millennials like me who have started investing in the past decade, how are you coping with probably the 1st bear market in our investing journey? (Covid crash was not a real bear market in my opinion)

Have been wanting to get started in investing in REITS and I think Syfe might be a good place to start. They have an option of "100% REITS" and "REITS with Risk Management", what do you recommend?
