Wall-E was spot on.
There is no longer PE in high school, replaced by academic courses. This is for many their only exercise.
Kids sit all day at school. Come home and sit on the computer.
Recently a 2 mile hike became a big Instagram hot spot and kids were acting like they hiked half dome.
Not all kids of course. Not all towns. But I am amazed that high school cross country and track is thriving numbers wise with this kind of culture.

Never heard of it.
For the life of me, I don't understand the Chicken Little mentality of some on this thread. The OP and those like him have left so much money on the sidelines.

Case in point.
Old story, same mistake:
"Public opinion is utterly wrong in its appraisal of the cycle. The artificial boom is not prosperity, but the deceptive appearance of good business. Its illusions lead people astray and cause malinvestment and the consumption of unreal apparent gains which amount to virtual consumption of capital."
Ludwig von Mises, The Trade Cycle and Credit Expansion: The Economic Consequences of Cheap Money
The mistake would have been being on the sidelines. Hindsight is 20/20, but the gains have been real.
Joe,
If you consider the market value of an index or a security as something you can take to the bank think again. So the recent market gains are no more a snap shot of reality than the 12% down moves of August 2015 or February 2016.

Are you seriously suggesting that I cannot sell a security for its market value?
Joe,
No, did you sell today?

Actually I pushed a pile into an ETF at the end of the day after the Brexit slump and have done quite well since.
I already told you guys this. Unlike most commenters on this thread, I don't make claims after the fact.

I felt pretty damn good being on the sideline when I bailed in 2008 and watched the Dow go from 14,000 plus to 6,800.
And if you don't think we are headed for another massive drop sometime relatively soon, you have not been paying attention.
Hi, K5! I see that you and Igy are posting together again.
And you have posted close to Igy. Bring out the White Coats.
Nope. Igy has posted close to me.
They're coming to take me away, ha ha ho he, they're coming to take me away, ha ha ho he......
That's probably a good thing. Good bye.
Does this mean K5 is gone too?
