        You just earned the right to be reminded how wrong you will be.

      • Sally V,

        That in this point in the cycle that stocks would be vastly superior to bonds. Oh yes, and that I am so clueless. It hasn't worked out that way has it?

        Sorry but you deserve it.

        Your sorry and I am not going to waste my time. You will learn the hard way.

      • Oh, you meant YOU'RE sorry. I get it now. So why do you keep responding? Is it your insatiable need to always have the last word?

      • Data from Dow Jones show that since 1900, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has experienced a drop of 5% or more 388 times — an average of once every three months. But until August, the last time this happened was October 2014 (meaning we were overdue for a decline). The data also show that drops of 5% or more tend to recover quickly. Declines of 10% or more recover within 10 months on average, and drops of 20% or more typically recover in just 15 months on average.

        What does that tell you? That all you have to do is … nothing. You’re invested for the long term, so what the stock market does today, tomorrow, next week or next month doesn’t matter. With a long-term perspective, you can simply wait it out.

        Pretty much nailed the top in stocks there. Maybe the other half of that brain will prove to be important.

      • Rice,

        My argument remains stocks are grossly overvalued as an asset class. We saw a small re-rating of high valuation stocks Friday, again, let me say clearly a small re-rating of high valuation stocks. I have no argument with the buy and hold investors that can maintain their discipline throughout a 50% market decline. If you think that the possibility of suck an outcome is small, think again.

      • You,

        From the time of my exchange with Sally V the S&P 500 Index declined 10% while the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index went up 0.50%. My point has been and remains a valuation and risk argument.

        But she was right at the time.
