Top is in

[BigMoneyJim]

So sell everything and watch for the "Bottom is up" thread for buy timing?

kthx

[dragoncar]

New closing top is in.  The Top is dead, long live the Top !

Which ticker are you people using to verify that the top is in?  Does it include reinvested dividends?

Just checking, but you do know this entire thread is a joke right?

Like there is no real top, and if there is its lasts a few years before the market marches higher to set a new top...:)

Uh, sorry to break it to you but this entire thread is dead serious.  Maybe you need to recalibrate your humor detection circuits?

Damn.. I better sell everything then!

That’s what I’ve been saying!  But it does seem like today is slightly up, so sell today not yesterday.  And if we are up tomorrow, then sell tomorrow not today.  Top is in.

Nope, if the bottom is up, you missed your chance.  You want the bottom is down thread. :)

bottom is up, at least in my household

Q1 GDP was 3.2% vs 2.1% expected. I hope everyone sold at yesterday's top.

Glad I waited for today's top to not sell! I even bought .05 shares of VOO. I'm going to go down in flames.

I’m confused now.  Should I be not selling or not buying today?

We may have to wait a bit, he usually appears after 2 days of -1-2% in a row to declare the Top is in again, just in time for the bear trap to kick in and markets to continue going up. 

[Exflyboy]

But he could be right this time!

So this has probably been discussed elsewhere, but we are now at the point where if we get another drop like 2008, we will still be at or above the 2007 “top”

However, the New closing top was surpassed the New New closing top is in .  The new top is dead , long live the new, new top!

If we did, the top would be the bottom

I don't do market timing but boy if I could have hit 9/11 and 2007 top I'd have a LOT more money now..:)

New high market close on Friday, new intra-day high today. Guess the top wasn't in last September after all.

I am adrift, I no longer know what to think.

Apple's numbers were above line and April employment was +100k over estimates, should have sold last Friday's top.

[UnleashHell]

The everything bubble top is in!

[DadJokes]

Good thing you didn't- last Friday's top is the old top. S&P is up another 5+ points since then, so today is the new top.

It's definitely all downhill from here though.

I am grumpy today about some financial matters (my mother's spending, medical bills, tree fell on my house, yada yada) and just saw this thread, looked at my accounts and realized, I'm richer than I've ever been. 

Gotta be the top.

[Steeze]

I saw all of these new posts and assumed the market was in free fall. Post count / market decline correlation is diverging.

[Wintergreen78]

The market going up at the beginning of the year means that it will go down at the end of the year. Unless it doesn’t.

Would it be too early to say "tree top is in"?  Sorry, terrible sense of humor.

Glad to hear there's a silver lining.  Hopefully things will improve. 

[Dare2Dream]

Trying to calling tops and bottoms is a waste of time.  I am a little jealous of the 100-80% stock allocation crowd these days.  But perfectly content with my smoother ride portfolio with allocations in non traditional groups like market neutral, managed futures,swan defined risk and precious metals.  Enjoy the ride.

I was kind of relieved to see it drop a little today. I hope it stays down through tomorrow so my purchases/contributions are more productive. I don't want to be buying all kinds of shares at all time highs :D

Of course it was down today, because I put in my order to sell my stock that just vested! It’ll be up next week when I put those funds into Vanguard. Guaranteed.

Sorry about your luck there :( I hope that everything you sold was at least worth more than what you paid for it.

[ysette9]

It is part of my total compensation so I paid nothing for it. :) It is also a very small part of our overall net worth, so it really is no big deal at all. I just like to fake complain.

Top is also in with a strong chance of another melt up.

Nah, it was just the tip...

/ba dump dump/

The tip of one branch, that is.

[Wolfpack Mustachian]

The top is not in yet, but it will be shortly:

We're for sure going to melt-up, but then the top will be in.

Double GOAT MOAT is in

[Maenad]

Aw man, I was just going to start the betting pool on whether Thorstach would be back today! (Futures are way down given tariff talk by 45).

In Stardew Valley, I named my goat GOATMOAT in honor of this thread.

[techwiz]

Double GOAT MOAT is in

Those blue lines form an arrow pointing in the direction of the TOP.  Looks to me it is S&P hitting 3000 around the 21st of May according to the blue line....

This might be it?

[dragoncar]

Isn’t that technically a TRIPLE GOAT MOAT?  I agree with techwiz that it appears we are in for a quadruple goat moat and beyond.  The top will always be in, of course, but there’s no law saying the top can’t get higher over time.  Fight me
