I hate everything. Hopefully the non-bank mortgage collapse will happen soon because I'm really starting to get tired of this bull market

We believe that there are still supports to an ongoing bull market
https://www.schwab.com/resource-center/insights/content/market-perspectiveEarnings Scorecard: For Q4 2017 (with 99% of the companies in the S&P 500 reporting actual results for the quarter), 73% of S&P 500 companies have reported positive EPS surprises and 77% have reported positive sales surprises. This marked the highest percentage of companies reporting positive sales surprises since FactSet began tracking this metric in Q3 2008.
Nice to see a lot of positive articles and opinions about the future of the market. It almost sounds like the believe "It's different this time". They're quick to point out it could be an up and down ride, which should be a caution message to those promoting "Buy on the Dip". But overall, long term, no Bear in site.
An up and down ride suits those who buy on the dip. Buy low, sell high.

Yeah, I guess you're right. If it time it right.

Which, of course, is nearly impossible to do. So you may be more right after all.

Earnings are doing great. All the naysayers have been proven wrong.

Odd that the market is up on this news.
The Street seems to like it when the working folks are getting squeezed harder.

How is adding jobs squeezing the market? Seems to be a sign of an improving economy.

How did you interpret the comment about working folks getting squeezed as the marker being squeezed?
Hey Igy! Sucks, but as you know it might have been worse. Make sure you get as good sleep as you can, it keeps you strong.
I am sending good vibes. You sure you need the stress of DGTD? :^)
Maserati,
Thanks. Getting plenty of rest actually ran three miles with friends this morning. Ready for an early afternoon nap. Doing well so far but anticipating tougher times mid-treatment. Fortunately, other than this significant issue, I am very healthy.
I enjoy posting on DGTD and LRC, doing my best to ignore the negative side.

Oh, the irony!
No. You just fall in love with fairy tales. Anything with a dose of reality is negative in your view, until the day comes when your belief system cracks. Who would have known?
Hey Igy I watched my mother in law fight cancer four eight years, I wish you all the best. I agree with maserati’s suggestion to minimize stress. I’ve been led to understand stress is like jet fuel for those bastardly cancer cells. Don’t give them a fighting chance
