Bad for who?  Precisely what are you complaining about?  In my lifetime I've never seen so much opportunity for so many.  Where is it written that everyone should be able to afford a home and pretty much everything else they want?  There is a job for anyone who wants one, educational opportunities for just about any field or interest, and the average standard of living today is incomparable to just one generation ago; trust me, I lived it.  My advice: Stop complaining and go do something productive.  

 

I thought the world economy was collapsing and so called "woke" policies had turned everything to shit!  I'm guessing that's the disinformation that Blake is talking about.  

 

Anyways, not specifically at you 73 Reds, but for everyone else, can you please get back on topic instead of political crap.

 

The thread title is "Have We Hit The Top?"  Cheers!

Relevant to above:

 

Funny but the majority are certainly not bearish currently. 
 

The human race generally has moved onward and upward but it is possible for the market to be down and or flat for a decade or more 1930s, 1970s. 1400s Europe was a dead century economically. 
 

Stonks are good and timing is usually bad but it’s also good to have caution and be a contrarian when everyone is on one side of the boat (bearish or bullish).

I think a politics section would be great, but maybe Parsad knows why it's not...

basically the first 13 years of my investing career, the S&P500 showed no return [2000 -> 2013].  But it was a fine time to be an investor, even if you were just averaging into the S&P 500.

 

There was a huge bull market in commodities, Berkshire was available many times at great entry prices, lots of individual value situations along the way.  There are always good investments out there if you keep looking.

 

The best point made up thread was that you have to find a style that works for you.

back on topic - yes, of course we hit the top on December of 2024 and today and it’s all downhill from here. Obviously…. And yet there are still things to buy tomorrow. That is, if New Orleans can ever open their god damned airport so I can finally leave Mexico thank you

Been there, done that...it was pure anarchy!  So either people shut the hell up about politics and stick to investing, or I delete such posts.  And if there are a bunch on a thread, I'm not going to waste my time anymore...that whole thread is going to go in the garbage...regardless of any posts of value in the thread.  Cheers!

I wonder if we can do the COBF community a favor and kill the “top” thread by getting it locked down because of politics. Maybe then folks will get back to investing rather than worrying about what the exact tick will be before the next correction.

Good idea Greg, because this isn't working.  Maybe people will move on to another subject.

 

Cheers!
