That could be true!
Some peoples comments are vague. Then, some peoples comments are meaningless as to what has actually happened in the market.

On that score I am the correct poster.

This is the only handle I’ve used to ask this question. Why are you afraid to answer it?

Nice! Better than your usual "Are you mad bro"
Ah, I doubt whether I used the “bro” phrase more than twice. I will refrain in the future just for you. Hang loose bra.

Isn’t that like an oxymoron?
Yep, but funny.

In second is our own S&P 500 with a gain of 6.86%. In third is France's CAC 40 with a gain of 1.26%. Coming in last is Shanghai's SSE with a loss of 18.41%.
Happy Longest-Bull-Market-Ever Day!
My congratulations to those of you who took advantage of this historic opportunity, and my condolences to those of you who missed the boat.

Because I think the market has a better chance of dropping 20% over the next year than rising a whole lot more, I decided to do an experiment with my 401k.
I moved everything in my 401k to cash today and I'm going to move 8% per month back into stock funds over the next year.
Balance is $793,456.
Flame away! Even I think I'm likely to regret it.
Hey everyone. Hope all are well.
I had in my calendar to bump this post today, a year after it was posted.
The results are in! Was this poster right to sell everything in his 401k a year ago?
Was his hunch right that we were due for a big pullback?
Ahh......No. Vanguard Total Stock Market index is up a huge 21.09% over the past year.
Bad poster! Bad!
Two Wall Street pros say this bull market is just getting started. The long-term trend of rising stock prices could last a total of 20 years or more before the uptrend ends. But that doesn’t mean short-term swoons won’t spook investors along the way, they warn.
“I don’t think this is an aging bull,” says Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets. “Our market call, which we initiated in 2009, is that this bull will last 20 to 25 years. We are not even halfway through it.”
Tune out the negativity, says Belski. “The expansion in the economy and corporate earnings is just beginning” after years of malaise, he says. There’s no real signs of euphoria in the broad market like in bitcoin or marijuana stocks. Cash is still flowing out of – not into -- stock funds, he says. And rising interest rates isn’t the death knell for stocks that bears say it is, he adds.
Mike Wilson, U.S. equity strategist at Morgan Stanley, is calling this a “secular” bull market — or one that lasts decades, not years, similar to the long upturn that began in the early 1980s and didn’t peter out until 2000 (despite some brief, yet sizable drops along the way, such as the 1987 market crash).
The next bear market, or 20% drop, won’t be like the mega-bears of 2007-09 or the dot-com crash in 2000, Wilson says. Instead, the market’s major trend will be up for years to come, despite periodic bouts of weakness like the 10%-plus drop in February and short bouts of despair and even bigger drops.
