In that case, i hope i'm smart enough to load up on the next round of big winners - you know - Apple and Google and the others, like i did in 2000 and 2007.
You have to look at the big picture, Igy. Not just snibbets that suit your biased perspective.
Seattle,
We’ll see how brave you are in your fox hole with in coming bullets and mortar fire.

Ah, you need to learn what an insider is punk.
If you work for a WS firm, then you are a WS insider. That’s you.

trouble is, we keep waiting for that day, and waiting, and waiting, and the market just keeps going up. Honestly, i can't figure it out. Who's doing all this buying? Is it the stock buybacks fueled by the corporate tax cuts? But this is been going on for just longer than anyone imagined. Isn't this the longest bull market in decades? And yet the buying continues. I'd feel foolish selling into this rally.

Four of eight indexes on our world watch list have posted gains through Monday, September 17, 2018. The top performer this year is India's BSE SENSEX with a gain of 11.16%.
“the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex plunged, swinging from a 1% gain to a drop of as much as 3% - its wildest intraday move in more than four years - before closing with a 0.8% loss.”
Those CD rates look to be catching up even to the top equity index.

You’re excited about a one day drop of less than 1%? Yawn.

Let me see if I understand this correctly. It went up, down, then up again? That’s some unusual behavior right there. I can see why you’re so giddy. ?♂️

Sector rotation is your explanation of how major indices are all grinding higher, rather consistently? Maybe i missed the graph rationalizing that one...

That is actually not true.
“As we saw within a few sessions of the 2000 and 2007 peaks, it's a concern when weak participation & divergent internals are joined by high-level leadership reversals. The S&P 500 set a new high yesterday, but only 2.5% of NYSE issues did the same, with just as many new lows.”

So the S&P set a new record high with fully 1 in 40 issues also setting new highs. And you think this is bad news?
Earnings Scorecard: For Q3 2018 (with 8 companies in the S&P 500 reporting actual results for the quarter), 7 S&P 500 companies have reported a positive EPS surprise and 4 have reported a positive sales surprise.

It is not a broad market advance like 2017 thru January 2018. I will leave it up to you to interpret.
I am a non-savvy investor and frankly too lazy or disinterested to spend the time learning. What do you guys think of the robo sites like Wealthfront?

Labels and assertions expose your own ignorance
the only thing i heard about them is that the fees set you up to not make as much as you would have otherwise. So, i would look at their fee schedule first.
