Down goes the Dow

Maybe you could loan that to Igy. He couldn't possibly do any worse with that than he does without it.

Karnack Magnificent's Quija Board did not factor in Trump cutting a deal with the Dems. Perhaps Igy will not want my trusty Ouija Board. The answer to the question is in mellon's stock charts. The answer is buy and hold thru the next 60% decline.

Oh, buy SNAP!

Or maybe like you, never buy. Just keep feeding the mattress.

Igy is a Trump Muppet, so the Ouija Board doesn't really matter to him. Instead of buy and hold, he tries to time the market which is why he is such a miserable failure. No wonder his clients have left the sinking ship Igy.

DD/Trews captains his row boat and he is his client. Soon to be overwhelmed by hurricane market.

You keep saying "soon", but when is that? You've become a parody of the boy who cried wolf.

If the future market decline is 54-83% like 2000-2002 or 2007-2009 why would it matter? The point is always to match you equity exposure to your risk tolerance and time horizon. That is all.

That's right! It wouldn't matter, That is, if you got out today.

Now, if you've been out of the market for the past 3-5 years expecting a big decline (like some have been touting on here) that hasn't happened, then yes that would matter.

But most here will stick with their passive index funds riding the market down.

There you go.

That's where you're wrong. Most (on here)are smarter than you. Evident by their constant slamming of you for your 3 years of doomsday comments about the market that has never happened. You are the only one still trying to sell that BS under multiple handles. All others have realized they were off the mark and have left in shame.

Exactly. And that's why it's ignorant of you to belittle the investment strategies of others on this thread when you know nothing about their personal situations. It seems as if your sole purpose here is to churn sales for your Wall Street overlords.

Go, Pats!

You always say that, but you eat all the Wall Street sales propaganda. Actually really funny. But that's the way it works for saps like you and mellon.

Go Fats Bellichik!

I don't sell anything. Why don't you brag some more about your investment gains? How are your five shares of AMZN doing?

The only thing I'll brag about is not needing to hide behind multiple handles.

Although, I can hardly blame you.

Right. Belittle others for getting out and then, after a steep decline takes place, make the after the fact claim that you got out in time or bet against the market and cleaned up. Such a dishonest/delusional/thin-skinned bunch of mediocrities you guys are.

Oh, but if you say anything negative about the stock market expect the Wrath of Bulls (10% annualized market gains to infinity).

Are you suggesting that it's different this time?

If you plan to live another 130 years you are correct. Oh, by the way the last 17.5 years have averaged 4.7%. So you tell me what is more accurate, the last 130 years or the last 17.5 years? Here's a hint, GDP averaging less than 2% the last ten years, you now have a demographic where Baby Boomers are takers not makers. The most likely outcome is the next ten years will have equity returns flat to zero. That is history, not the magical 130 year numbers you think contain some guarantee.
