Thoughts on active vs. passive in this environment
Watching the market lately, particularly with $EEM hovering around 65.02, down a bit today, it makes me question the prevailing wisdom of strictly passive investing for everyone. While the long-term benefits of DCA are undeniable for many, there are phases where active management, or at least a more tactical approach, seems to offer distinct advantages in capital preservation or even modest outperformance. I'm not talking about chasing every tick, but recognizing when market structure shifts enough to warrant a more dynamic stance.
Am I off base here, or are others also finding the 'set it and forget it' mantra a bit too rigid for current conditions?

I agree there are times when active management can shine, especially in volatile or sideways markets. However, the challenge for most retail investors is consistently outperforming passive benchmarks after fees and taxes.
