Usage Tips
Can AI accurately judge the bottom of panic?
⚠️ Nobody can precisely judge the bottom, including AI.
Value:
- Quantifies panic levels
- Helps maintain rationality during panic
- Provides historical recovery time and magnitude references
Limitations:
- Panic can go deeper and longer than any model predicts
- Rogers succeeded through contrarian courage and long-term vision, not precise timing
- Some panics do foreshadow worse problems
✅ Don't try to catch the exact bottom — buy in stages. Rogers said: "I always buy too early, but if you buy cheap enough, time proves you right." Have AI plan 3-5 staged entries.
