Stop reading the investing news crap if you're unable to see that it's all garbage/click bait. Supercycle? overpriced? "lost decade" OMG.... so much noise. Just stop. You're not investing for the next year, or even the next 5 years... you want to buy and hold for the long haul, and short term drops/volatility should be seen as buying opportunities. The market ALWAYS trends upwards if you're looking big picture. What you're doing is market timing based off of the doom and gloom junk you've been fed. We're due for a correction or even a crash right? But guess what? The market will recover and grow, and as long as you were invested and leave your money in the market (and don't panic and lock in the losses), it will recover and grow too.
The research shows that lump sum investing works out for the best, but if you really can't stomach a drop in the beginning, dollar cost averaging is a perfectly legitimate way to get invested and still feel like you're playing it "safe."
If you are wanting a basic and easy way to invest, go for index investing.

I have no idea who this Jesse Felder guy is, and could care less about his "expertise" or opinion. Because that is all he has - an opinion. There are plenty of big financial gurus out there predicting all kinds of things and 99.9% are wrong more than half the time anyway. Unless you can read that junk purely for entertainment and laugh about the silliness, you need to stop reading it all together.
