      • Too bad you got out, that is something I would never recommmend. It really won’t matter though. Three and a half years ago the S&P 500 was at 2,100. You will be able to buy back in at 1,100, most likely closer to 900. Enjoy the roller coaster ride. It’s really scary right before the bottom so make sure you’ve got your nerve up.

        You have to admit it Igy ... this is basically your position.

        For the record, I was one who thought it was overvalued 3.5 years ago and got out. In hindsight, it was the wrong decision.

        You’ve basically hit the nail in the head. Myopic investors focus on one or two metrics - in this case valuation - but there are numerous things which go into market performance. It reminds one of the popular “cant see the forest for the trees” phrase. By focusing on valuation, you miss the big picture.

        five years, c. 27,000 posts. That's close to 15 posts per day.
        Epic, gents and maybe a lady or two. Epic.
        One year my 'agip' handle was, god bless Italian gasoline, the most prolific poster on LRC because of this place and the politics thread.
        What a rally in the markets - I'm now working because I want to, not because I have to. Thanks, capitalism.

      • It’s been an amazing ride and this thread has been there to chronicle the latest 5 years of this historic bull market.

        I took some profits a few months ago in anticipation of the coming bear. At the time I thought it would be sooner rather than later. Now I’m not so sure. I’ve even reinvested some of those profits. Heck, if Trump can’t screw this up, maybe we really do have at least 3 more years as some analysts suggest.

        Party on.
