The Fed pumped around $3 trillion into the economy since 2009. THAT is why things are as they are. The market is up because of Fed money. It's another bubble being blown. Like the housing bubble, education costs bubble, previous "bull markets", all went up from Fed money. You're gambling with people who cheat. I'm NOT saying you can't make money. The premise was "don't worry about any correction, it'll be back up in a year". And I disagreed.
