I'm colorblind and have no idea what that chart means. Can you just tell me what I'm supposed to do? Thanks
Sell everything you own.  Buy a horse, a shotgun, an axe, a pack mule loaded with all the supplies it can carry, and head for the hills.

In your neck of the woods, I would recommend Shenandoah.  Any place good enough for General Philip Sheridan is A-OK in my book.  If you're headed for California, you might want to wait until the fires die down a little bit.  The fires my good friend Sheridan set in Shenandoah have been doused for more than 150 years.

I currently live in a desert.  It has its drawbacks, but one big advantage is that there isn't a lot of stuff that can catch fire around these parts.  It's an option if you feel a compelling need to relocate to the west coast urgently; though, I would recommend avoiding I-10 if you can.  You might find it difficult to water your animals along certain westward stretches of that route.  At least, that's what I found, anyway.

Be sure to get across the Sierra before the first snow. If you get snowed in for the winter, things can turn grim...

Don’t worry, I have 8 oxen and like 20 wagon toungues. Haven’t died of dysentery yet
Worst case, you take like 5 10 20 to go hunting

Few people who have starved to death have also had the opportunity to die of dysentery. 

But you just don't eat perfectly good oxen all at one time.

Ox-tail soup anyone?  ;)

Read Undaunted Courage and you'll see that the Lewis & Clark expedition came close. 

Luckily for them, the Top wasn't In yet, so things got better.

Üst? - That doesn't seem like enough words.

Top içeride - Hmmm, maybe.

zirvede - Google and Bing do not speak the same dialect I suppose.

I’m finally convinced that the old top was the real top and that there will be no more new tops. I just moved my 100% US equities portfolio to an international fund of forex puts valued in bitcoin. Thanks to everyone for helping me see the error in my thinking. FIRE, here I come!

basically, Fire@50 will be the only one of use who can retire while all the rest of us are forced to accept jobs at 60% of what our pay is today. Should've sold at the Top.

Best way to fire is to set fire to all of your assets to keep warm in the winter

The top is definitely in this time.  I sold my house this week and just put $75k into the market, so rest assured that it's all downhill from here!

Your old house is down the hill?  So you moved up the hill to be closer to the top?

I'll go for neither, S&P does #@$%-all this week and stays around 2850.

This thread has 446,132 views now. Wow. I made my first investment ever the week this thread started into VTSAX. I remember reading it before I did it thinking it was silly for trying to time the market.

Had I listened, I would be down thousands of dollars today.

Sometimes while I'm at work, I do my job metaphorically rather than literally. Does that mean I've been metaphorically listening to my boss for the last decade? If he's been speaking to me metaphorically does that mean I've literally been doing what he's said?

Depends. Do you metaphorically do your job metaphorically? Or do you literally do your job metaphorically?

I, for one, figuratively do my job literally metaphorically

Is it a new all-time high for the S&P500 today?

Well, thorstach still called it back on day one, 65 pages ago.  His timing was just a little off.

(Then he called it again approximately every three months for the next two years.  He's bound to be right eventually.)

A confirmed downtrend from all time highs is anything but noise, fellow. Anyway, there goes support and VXX breakout going into a long weekend.

If you're not going to put your money where your mouth is, at least add your concrete prediction to this thread so we can all laugh at how bad it is. (along with all the others too, including mine, so there won't be any reason to feel bad about being wrong)  And hey, maybe you'll actually be right!  Stranger things have happened.


https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/investor-alley/calling-the-top/


Mine is not a prediction but an analysis based on facts and charts to conclude that we have already seen the top of this bull rally. Posting in that thread would be "cheating" since i've made the call after the fact.

wait....what?
