Top is in

[Adventine]

Somehow the market always knows what day your 401k contribution is going in

I thought I was the only one...my 401k purchase day is Wednesday, and I swear it's always after a big green day.

The market know when we buy, and it also seems to know when thorstash calls the Top.

That's cause AI is running the show, and we just don't know it yet.

11th circuit and Inflated real estate tops are in!

If not for the fact that the top is always in, I would doubt this. It seems unlikely that inflated real estate only happened in one state.

Quarterly Dividends are getting reinvested but Top is in. What a bummer.

Is the top in on my shares of SPDN?

We all know the bottom is not in, so obviously your top is not in!  Duh, top is in.

[ATtiny85]

I was going to do some rebalancing today, then I remembered that somewhere I read definitively that the top is in, so I figured why bother.

I notice the VIX is at 30. Does @thorstach have an opinion on that?

I think thorstach would say: "Fear is back, VIX above 15, XIV breaking down. SPY to follow, earnings will be a reality check."

I'd like the record to show that when I summon him, @thorstach answers.

Hmm, very interesting. So interesting that some may say suspicious.

Eta: already noted I see now. I was in a hurry to see what Adventine said back.

First it was GOAT MOAT and now the Duck reference. Thorstache are you a farmer?

The top was in when Fed Chair Powell walked up to the microphone at Jackson Hole last month.

And we never see both of them in the same place at once…

We may have found Thorstach’s alter ego!

I never get a serious reply on this, but I've always had this philosophical puzzler to pass the time:
How long does an inflation-adjusted ATH have to hold the record before someone accurately can call it a top? The real value of the S&P in 2001(?) wasn't reached again until 2014. If thorstach had been investing in 2000, would he be right? What if the same ATH went unchallenged for 30 years, or 70, or 8, or 2? How local does a local maxima have to be to count as a top?

It is very relative to one's age, in my opinion. As a 62-year-old who retired 4 years ago, I would say my local min/max is 10 years. I do hope we attain a new ATH within 10 years, but if not, it's no big deal as my equity allocation is light and I have plenty of fixed income. unfortunately, I am not accumulating at a discount as I did during past downturns.

The critical thing to remember is that the Top Is In!

I would think reasonable people could agree that the S&P top was in after the 1929 drop.  Same with the NASDAQ in 2000...  Of course, inflation being inflation, in nominal terms the top will only be in when productivity declines or the monetary system collapses.  Long live the Top!

In theory, inflation could grow faster than the long-run total return of the S&P500, causing the top to be in, in real terms even if stock prices went up in nominal terms. Of course if that were to happen, the top might also be in, in nominal terms. So there you have it - two ways for the top to be in.

Prior to the Fed's announcement, there was still a glimmer of hope that, after a really great October, maybe the Top Was In for 2022...  but unfortunately it looks like the top is in again.

Uh, no. The top was never not in, so it can’t be in again.
