If this continues...
...I should be good 'til I'm 120 or so.

So sad, I pulled out based on my emotions (violating rule #1) back in November when it reached 3000. Now, out of stubbornness, I can’t get back in until it drops below where I sold.

Thereby violating rule # 2 (time in the market is more important than timing the market). Not sure which index you're referring to but if it doesn't drop to the level you sold at for another 10 years the you're going to feel like a goose.

You’re right.

The stock market is going like a freight train and yet economic inequality is at an all-time high.
The math doesn't equate.

Quote:
Low unemployment drives spending. In the case of people in the lowest economic classes, everything they make. The same for middle income and more because of their ability to borrow. Those with large disposable incomes provide a double impact - big spending and money to invest in the market, which drives share prices higher. Not necessarily because the companies underpinning the market have fundamentals that warrant the share prices, but because people want to be onboard the train. As long as you board the train early, the chances that the train rolls farther backward than where you boarded are lower. Debt is a wonderful thing. You can throw a hell of a party when you walk out of the bank. But it has to be paid back and if you can't... USA now crossing $1trillion/year deficit and $22trillion+ in accumulated debt. ($15T of debt is social security so old people can continue spending) Technically every American has ~$70,000 of debt they don't even think about. Of course not everyone pays taxes - on a household basis it's about $175,000 for the number of registered households. Not all households pay taxes ... yada. Most of it will likely be the responsibility of those in their 30's and 40's to figure out. Our gift to the younger generations. You're welcome! |

money doesn't go to the bottom no matter how good the market is when companies buy back shares instead of hiring good jobs. There is a plethora of amazon trucks with people making 18 an hour they used to make at a dept store. ymmv

I know there'll be a time when I can no longer throw a leg over the TT and go for a ride...thankfully, that day ain't today...all bikes go when that day comes.

say, if boeing stock dips 10% (as it did about a month ago), it drags down the DJIA, despite the fact that large caps overall were doing well |
