I myself see a big pullback coming in the next six months but I don’t know that I have ever been correct over 45 years. I will put a lot of money in if a 10% pullback comes. I expect you r being prudent depending on how old you are. The thing is, if you’re young, you might as well stick it out and not try to time. He said.

Science aside, I imagine many also saw this shocking report, with so many heartfelt earnest resentful pleas for tolerance of intolerance and intolerance of tolerance

>> The way it's currently done
Posted inflation data are chronically 4y out of date? That seems the conclusion, but I wonder; you'd think that would be bruited everywhere all the time.

moreover, many, though not all, fast food and casual dining chains are doing just fine, my consultant kid informs me, even though these are areas where it's easy for consumers to (and you would expect them to) cut back or at least trim expenditures,…
Interesting that over the last 7y MTUM has also outperformed (a little) VOOG (tho not VONG), also CAPE, also all of the hot div ETFs.
