Thread is more about the markets, the Dow is only 30 stocks.

No you won't! Because you're not going find what think you will.
Also unlike you, I've never used but one handle. Mellon
Good then, I will be able to easily retrieve your posts. I will post them on a regular basis as the market moves down.
On second thought I am not a vindictive person. I would not do that. I believe the coming Bear Market will be historic. At that point I will really have very little to say and the only emotion will be pity.
Of course it will be historic. All bear and bull markets are historic. You continue to say things that are obvious.
I agree, it will be a historic Bear Market that will reveal low cost passive ETF/index investing is a cheap way to lose a lot of money.

His point is Igy was being sarcastic. Read the thread and try to keep up.
Wow. Do you sniff glue on a regular basis?
Is that supposed to be some sort of put down? Reminds me of middle school.

He dreams of the day he can say, "See I was spot on with what I said 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 10 1/2, 25 years ago". However long it takes.
Just like you cheering something that is six months old. Yippie!
corporate profit measure released by gov't today - up 12% y/y in the 1Q
not too shabby
the stock market should indeed be rising with a profit surge like that
One problem, that is all corporate profits. S&P 500 EPS as noted previously by me is at the same level non-GAAP and GAAP as 6/30/4014 when the S&P 500 closed at 1,960.

well I'd have to check that, but assuming it's true, there is more reason to be positive about forward earnings - virtually every measure of economic growth around the world is moving in the same, positive, direction.
that wasn't true until around 6 months ago. So there is reason to believe that this profit surge is lasting.
Good luck checking that. You'll have to wait almost 2000 years!
agip,
Time will tell.
Hey my total volume is up. Added 2,000 yards of swimming this week. No racing breakthroughs, but getting more fit.
Hope you are doing well.

Don't look, it might scare you, or disprove what you think is truth:
