TOP is IN

NASDAQ at all time high, people must be oblivious that the top was already in.

It has been prophesied and ordained that the TOP IS IN, and will remain in, TOP without end.

The bottom will be in when we again see those tiny peanut butter goo-stick things wrapped in yellow paper. That and licorice will be our buy signal.

I'm getting the sense Wall st don't quite believe in his 1000% tariffs... (that every economist says would crash the economy).
S&P500 +2.4%, Russell; +5.6%! W.T.F?!

Well you don't want to be in bonds when inflation strikes. Hence the sharp fall in treasury prices coinciding with the sharp rise in equities prices, as investors sold bonds and reinvested in stocks. Tariffs mean government-protected local monopolies with high margins, and what's not to like about that as a stockholder? Bondholders will be murdered (again) by the inflation that will come from bigger government deficits and a lack of Fed independence.

Money is moving off the sidelines and into risk-on mode after an uncontested election result. Soon as that's done, the TOP IS IN.

^VIX breaking down -20% today.
Fear is on the back burner.
Christmas will be a reality check.

But then you would miss out on experiencing the top. It would be like watching the rapture but not being in the rapture. When the prophecy of the top comes true, I want to feel it rather than just watching from a bunker in the distance.

I'm currently listening to Jay Powell talking about very sensible, measured changes to interest rates and how well the economy is currently doing.

No hand waving or making disgusting comments about any opposition figure or how "they are eating the pets".. Just calm responses to economic decisions.

I just hope this sensible, steady hand on the tiller will continue, rather than some nut job making drastic changes to make themselves to look good.

I hate to be a market timer, but I thought these past few days was a good option to move to a more conservative AA as I am hoping to retire next year. Haven't added it all up but I am around about 65/35 right now.

I’m thinking the way you are. However I’m already FIRE and 100% VTSAX/equivalent. Not sure what other than cash would be a good place to stash some gains. T-bills?

Not to be extremist, but TEOTWAWKI in a few years is also a possibility I’m wondering how to hedge against. Platinum coat hangers?

Just watched the movie "Civil War" (a 2024 release) - no amount of FIRE planning will solve for that, not even preppers and farmland.

I love how this rally is supposedly driven by “optimism that Trump’s policies will boost the economy” and not a mad dash to the finish line before regime change.
GDP and productivity are expected to be higher under serfdom, so you want to be an owner of capital in that situation, right? Personal freedom top is in!

Even this thread is a bit dark today.
I'd use silver  instead of platinum for the coat hangers in the bunker.  It's bacteriostatic.
