BS meter? How about these as a small example, 1 year gains:
Tesla 50%
Facebook/meta 263%
Apple 58%
Nvidia 99%.
That’s just in tech stocks. There are other sectors that are booming. Small cap is doing good. My s&p fund is up almost 40% for the last year, whereas my tech funds are up even more.

I also have a couple dozen low cost/low risk index funds (that I pick from) that I’m getting over 40% plus good dividends on top of that. These fund symbols I only give out to friends. It takes some research and a little bit of time to come up with funds that match my stringent requirements that produce these types of gains (low cost, low risk, low turnover, 3% min dividends, 2 digit gains over the last 10 years, growing dividend each year for the last 10 years, and more). Again, there are dozens of them, I have been using the same indexed funds for the past couple of decades.

For no risk, I’m still getting over 5% in money market funds as we speak.

I think that takes care of any BS meter posts
Hmmmm....On Aug 6th you posted the following, so did you miss record high market gains?

"I got completely out of the market and put everything in 5.25% money market holdings."
