It won't go on forever. Never has. The only question is when and how
much.

But, every correction has had its corresponding recovery plus growth
beyond...at _some_ point in future history one has to presume there will
be a change in that pattern but despite the sizable number of
corrections some of quite large percentages in my time in the market am
far better off than would have been otherwise...of course, one should
take least some remedial action during the most extreme events rather
than just being totally passive...but then again, if one has "new" money
by still working or other income not based on market those are
opportunities to look for.

I suppose when some libtard socialist like Alexandria Ocasio-Kotex is elected and implements her plan to confiscate wealth and redistribute it to her lazy democrat followers, maybe the market will cease to exist.

Or maybe we'll have a war between the workers and the lazy useless demotards?Â* Who knows.

Or alternatively when the huge govt debt and the interest on it can't
be paid back. While you're celebrating the new market highs, Trump
and the GOP greatly increased the deficits, they will have nearly
doubled for the year starting Oct. As Fretwell says, it can't go on
forever and nothing is being done about SS either, which will run
out of money in 16 years. It's easy to have a party when no one is
paying the bills.

The market has been going up for decdes. Sure, it has some downa dn
recovers higher, or so it seems. That is a good thing. When I bought
my first car gas was 21.9 cents but the Dow was $5500. If you look at
the CPI it would be $45000 today.

"That is a good thing."

I think that is what I said...

I'm too lazy to go look enough to get fully commensurate figures, but
iirc CPI has averaged about 3%/yr for last 50-60 years or so, meanwhile
since inception the S&P 500 which is far broader index than DJIA has
averaged about 12%; a net 9% gain...

That includes the relatively recent market upsets of .com, housing
bubble, 9/11, 2008/9, ...

Is another major correction going to happen? Does a bear...woods???

Web based forums are like subscribing to 10 different newspapers

Email list-server groups and USENET are like having all of those
newspapers delivered to your door every morning.
