Once you adjust for inflation that 60,000,000 S&P is probably less than what it is currently.  ie top is in.

Nazi's?.. Gotta have Nazi's, I mean where would the US Space program be without Nazi's?

After their war record was whitewashed of course!

People think their neighbors are Nazis a lot of times, but you just made me realize that my old neighbor was an actual Nazi.

Not after "operation Paperclip" he wasn't. After turning a blind eye to Jewish slaves being beaten right in front of him while building his rockets. Yes I have been to Peenemunde where there is video testimony from prisoners that left you in no doubt that VB was a Nazi pig. Of course it might ALL be Socialist propaganda as well.. hmm.

There are a lot of things here named after him.  It sounds like those need to go the same way as all the stuff named after Confederate generals.

It's no accident that the first two groups of reporters who are being replaced by (rather simple) AI algorithms are the people who write stories about sports and the people who write stories about stocks.

I heard an RT talking about his plans to start day trading full time instead of regular day job as a repiratory therapist. 
Another co-worker was trying to explain to me how crypto generates interest.

Well, they may have had a point- respiratory therapist top might have already been in... At least, I hope so.

That’s unfortunate.

A lot of people lost their nerve here and on bogleheads last March. There was a lot of market timing chatter in both boards. I hope your co-worker gets his money back in before the market rages upward again.

I bought $6,000 worth of a 3x leveraged ETF today, which is my personal equivalent of putting one’s hands in the air as the roller coaster starts going down the hill. Call it a kink if you must. Top is in.

That dancing in and out of the market in an attempt to only capture the upside while avoiding any possibility of seeing your investment account balances drop temporarily generally doesn't work.

I saw we had a nice little drop in the markets yesterday. I hope that holds through Thursday when my 401(k) contribution happens.

Top is in. For now at least.

Same here, I have a chunk of money working through to my accounts to invest. That started before the recent drop and when I saw the news of the recent drop, I was like, "Welp. That's pretty good news for me." When you're looking to buy, the bottom is just a backwards top. But,

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again

Busy around the house yesterday, had CNBC on.  I kept seeing one of the regular contributors hammering the Delta variant as being the big unknown and unaccounted-for aspect that was crashing the market.  He was too clever by half, as usual, sounding the warning about how people had been getting this whole thing wrong and there was finally a reckoning.  Hang on to your butts, it's chaos! 

Same guy sat there today, mocking everyone who was selling yesterday.  He is above it all and knows the traders are just so foolish.  See?  Looky!  Here is a belabored list of 20 stocks that are up today the precise percentage they were down yesterday.  You were all fools worrying your little heads.  His tone was pedantic, smug, and utterly nauseating.

They are certain that no one keeps score of their bullshit and simply make up new headlines at any moment that they believe will make them look smart.  Good reminder it is better to leave the volume muted if that channel is on.

The EMH comic and MissNancyPryor's posts hit home for me. Back in the late 1990s I was a field tech spending lots of time in the car each day. Music radio quickly became too darn repetitive, MP3 players weren't a thing yet (much less smart phones and podcasts), and I didn't yet have a car CD changer. So I started listening to news/talk/sports radio.

Every morning they would have a stock market report of what to expect. At the end of the day, they'd report what happened which of course NEVER matched what they said in the morning.

Yet they always sounded so confident of WHY those things happened, after the fact. They actually had a few go-tos for how the day trended. Prices down because computer selling programs. Market reacted to interest rates.

I fairly quickly realized they're all clueless and full of shit.

Today I know the top is always in.

Remember when you were a kid at the pool, and you would walk up to the end of the diving board, then back up a little and take a flying leap off the high dive and into the deep end? Get your arm floaties ready for absolute free fall. We’re on the high dive and the top is definitely in.

I find it hysterical that Jim Kramer is touted as a stock expert.    I don't know whether his picks are the worst ever, but he really screwed the pooch around the turn of the century.    I don't remember all the details but the results were gruesome.

Are you serious? He's a well-known high-income financial name who still has his own featured show on a major network! He makes tons of money from the stock market!


...Oh, you mean for people who would actually follow his clown show recommendations for buying and selling stocks, don't you?

Kramer ran a hedge fund for 20 years and got out after the DotCom bust.  Yelling at his peers from inside a TV now is apparently a more stable source of income and notoriety. 

All of the CNBC talking heads and their guests are there just to fill up air time. Financial professionals don't get their actionable intelligence from CNBC, and mom and pop missed the train for whatever these shills had to say.
