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.
How do we know the published job numbers are not fabricated?
cuz they are from BLS, which is a bastion of integrity, contrary to the bullshit above
@rono, substantiate your charge
Thanks Graust! The new M-star chart is tough to deal with. I always use Stockcharts but it’s not clear to me that they include distributions.

I would have such trouble paying noncomical attention to anyone who could write this kind of English:
Very few authors on this site have been as outspoken about a market rebound than I have.
Article and comments are interesting, though.
properly untested?

it is you whose crippling cynicism turns this into kidding

k, but you still appear not to get the point of community protection

@Starchild,
You did not answer the questions. But I will: For sure. And gladly.
Also, you're telling me not to get obnoxious when you doubt you'll get vaccinated? Go look up 'noxious'. You will be, literally, harmful.
@Starchild,
do you mask?
you do know that vaccination is also for protection of all us others here, right?
maybe you don't realize that, actually.
I guess you must not know people who must live or move in close numbers either.

Per M*, your conclusion is erroneous, and from close 3/20 to close last Fri it is up ~21.57%. ~$155 lower than SP500 on $10k.

Starting end April DSEEX pulled ahead of CAPE and then a week or so ago ahead of SP500. Maybe the bond sauce has been reformulated. (Some of the Pimco gogo vehicles have perked up also.)
LG is where it's at for true growth.
Yeah. Trying to see any args against all VONG all the time; slicing and comparing past subsample periods and all that.
VONG started later than the awful late summer of 08 and on to the April 2010 recovery, bu…

Oh, another one (@bee): SPY/TLT 50/50 and forget about it.
Why does anyone ever choose SPY over VOO?
For me TLT would be too jumpy for what I want a bond ETF for, but it sure does majorly outperform VGIT, and even BND.
