Being very conservative in an up-up-up market you still make a lot of money, easily.

I take risks after a crash. That's when you make most of your money, also from my experience.

So, I pray for a crash.

All the best for your investments!!
This leaves a bad taste in my mouth, praying for a crash where people's lives are decimated but you gain a few nickels. I don't like the stock market and thinking like this makes me hate it.

My aim is clearly to warn people: do not buy at the height of the market. Sell whatever you made money on (or lost money with no hope). Don't be greedy. Be conservative in this market.

I am sorry, but crashes, for sure, happened and will happen. For sure.

You should be very concerned and very angry at the many many many people and media channels who pump the current stock market to unsuspecting people.

You should like the stock market, a lot, when it's cheap. The easiest way for many people who have spare money to invest and make a lot of money is in the stock market.

All the best to you!

That is an increase of 11.072%.
& now it's over 16%, even after a sad friday.

Warren Buffett Says the 2026 Pullback Wasn't Big Enough to Move Berkshire's Cash

You are looking at one of the most expensive stock markets in decades — and it may not end well

Okay, now it's really time to convert to cash or CD's or annuities.

The sky has to fall now.

Default Huge Economic Improvements

With the DOW above 54,000 as of today, oil stability at 75 dollars a barrel dispute global circumstances and fairly good job numbers, I see no need to sell anytime soon.

maybe this indicator is what alot of people are stressing over??

BofA indicator hits most extreme bullish level since 2021 | Financial Post

but as long as this indicator is below 10, there is not alot of people buying crash protection.

Cboe Global Indices: LTV Index Dashboard

interest rates and federal spending is a risk, but the bond vigilanties have not possied up yet to create a sell off.

How can somebody say it’s overvalued? Or the sky is falling? These same people thought a stock was overvalued when it went up 100%/200%, then probably sold before the stock went up another 500%-600% in less than a year. There were many, around a dozen, stocks that went up 500% up to many thousands % in the last 15 months and I was in 5 of these. In the last couple months, things have shifted to a different sector that is starting to come back after being crushed. So I sold the 1 stock that went up thousands so I can participate in this upcoming sector, which I was in a year ago but got out when it started to get crushed.
This qtr earnings have been very positive and these upbeat companies have shown good deals being made to be prosperous for the next year or so.
