Hey guys, all these headlines about record setting DOW close as the new daily occurrence are simultaneously making me expect a crash and also bugging me out that I'm missing out. I feel the need to buy something!
to back up, i've got about 75% Vanguard, 10% bond/misc and 15% cash. With these record setting highs i keep trying to distract myself from what could have been, and not fall into "buying at the top." I know that's market timing, but i wanted to have some rainy day funds for when things went on sale... now it's like that will take ages and i'm getting impatient : /
