What happened to the great stock market crash we were supposed to get?

[Willie99]

sometimes I think it's a charade just so money managers can take advantage of naive people and make a quick buck

just like the Briexit crash, fake trumped up bullshit

WB has been dead wrong about this election as well ... If that can make any of you feel better. Lol.

Yea I don't call playing a short term leveraged ETF or having money in 1 or 2 individual stocks being in the market.
I always have something like that going on.

Im talking about having my entire portfolio in the market .
Thats something I've been out of for a year now

i

i dont know what that means ......you're a speculator with 100 % of your assets? Again, can you imagine folks following the lead of the folks in the 'sell sell sell ' thread? they are still WAITING for the 30-50% correction...they are angry they were wrong....when they get the correction ? they will rejoice ? dance with their gold fish or dogs......wahtever gives one peace..........

I have not been on the same page with most of the folks on the sell, sell, sell thread most of the time although I love reading what tiz and the others have to say .

No I'm not a speculator with 100%

When I say I'm out the market that means I'm over 90% in cash .
When I'm in the market I'm highly diversified in mutual funds and index funds.

Yea I should hire someone to help
me out during the times I'm out to help me put my money in something besides cash but I don't.

But I'm 3 for my last 3 timing the market .

Waiting for the S&P to make at least a 25% drop then I will put all my money back in again.

This is total guessing game for me. If I ever fuck up I'll probably get someone smart to help me .

But I'm very proud of myself for pulling 100% out right before the big crash we had before Bush left office the. I jumped back in 100% when the S&P hit 670. Then I jumped back out when the S&P tripled and that's where I am right now

you're smart . don't think you need anyone to help you. That's what the nonsense financial industry preys upon--weakness and lack of knowledge and they charge us for their 'expertise'..it comes with no guarantees.................that they get their piece of our pie.............for some, their is value in someone saying 'you will be okay,all is well'.....or they have no interest in self education, cool...... . Timing the market is a fools game, studies show . Not you , not me,,,not ANYONE can call the next black swan..........using knowledge , resources to best set us up, is all we can do. With that said, I add when there's weakness--counter intuitive abd not easy to do............................... they set the game such that fixed income is fucked, can't even match inflation...tough to navigate. if someone could give me 5% fixed, locked?...all i need, i'm out.....well...not really....gotta fuel the beast................................................dagone............
