And how much higher than it was after the big crash?
And how much higher than it was after the big crash?
Observer,
Which one, the 80% drop, or the 50% fall?

So there are multiple recessions ahead? You think that's news? Everybody knows recessions happen routinely. Try to keep up.
Try,
The problem with your thinking you believe time smooths everything. In my view it depends when it occurs. It's nice to look at statistics that cover 100 years, if your very diligent one's investment horizon might be 40 years. Pay attention to sequence of return.

It's only a problem for market timers like yourself.
Try,
You say that but nothing supports your view unless you carry your time horizon out 100 years, or you include the greatest Bull Market in history. I would describe my methodology as being valuation based. Robert Schiller a Nobel Laureate in economics endorses my view so it is far from BS.

It's sad that you cannot defend your position without making up stuff about me. You obviously have no legitimate defense, but that's not surprising.
My work is done here. Goodnight.
Try,
You just said nothing. So it is probably better to go to sleep. Your usual weak response was expected.

Oh, the irony!
U.S. stock futures notched minor gains ahead of the market open, as investors looked ahead to the European Central Bank policy decision and to fresh U.S. labor market data for cues.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were up 16 points, or 0.1%, at 18,530.00 and futures for the S&P 500 picked up 2.2 points, or 0.1%, at 2,187.00. Futures of the Nasdaq-100 tacked on 3.5 points, or 0.1%, to 4,832.25.
Still in focus are Apple Inc. (AAPL) shares, which were down 0.4% premarket. They closed up a modest 0.6% on Wednesday after the launch event for the new iPhone 7 handset and other devices.
" Markets are consolidating ahead of another key central bank meeting," said Richard Perry, market analyst at Hantec Markets, in a note.
Before the market open, the ECB will deliver its latest monetary policy decision, due at 7:45 a.m. Eastern Time. Conviction is growing that the central bank will prolong its asset-buying program beyond March 2017, but opinion is divided as to whether the move will come at Thursday's meeting.
"After signs that the eurozone economy is struggling again, there may be a nod towards further monetary easing. ... The committee could extend the program by another six months and possibly even increase the program purchases from the current EUR80bn per month," Perry said.
Investors will listen for clues when ECB President Mario Draghi holds his press conference after the meeting at 8:30 a.m. Eastern.
The wheel is spinning, but the hamster is gone.
Ah ya, awesome...like ya....totally......

Moronic statement of the day.
Crashes of 50% plus like we saw in 2000-2002 and 2008-09 hurt those who follow the idiotic advice of buy and hold, not those with the foresight to be out of the market at that time.
Hi, K5/Igy! How about those like yourself who had the foresight to get out of the market in the midst of a 7+ year Bull run?
Ah yes the insane Detector Dude.
Just for you, nice melody and lyrics.

Hi, Igy/K5! It's been said that the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. That sure sounds like you!
Since you do the same...

This from someone who literally says the same exact things over and over and over again.
Taking cognitive dissonance to a whole new level, previously only occupied by the dupes of Zi*nism.
