Top is in

[MrGreen]

New top for the year. S&P 3.63% from ATH. Perpetual SWR top!

[dragoncar]

And here I am sitting on dividends/contributions that I haven't reinvested.  Top is definitely in the moment I push the buy button

The Santa rally is no match for the top.

The Top is in!

Everyone knows that this is the most reliable indicator of the top being in.

The top paid for 1/3 of our new (to us) car. It seems like my exit timing should counter your entry timing… but that can’t be when the top is in.

[MrGreen]

3.19% from ATH. Up we march!

Nasdaq's QQQ just eclipsed the 2021 ATH, so maybe NOW the top is in?  Well, not after hours because it is still going up, but soon I'm sure...

[Exflyboy]

Oooh.. Dare we hope to surpass the ATH top (about 4800 on the S&P500) before the start of 2024?

OK, I guess I jinxed it!

Goats wearing coats afloat in boats on a moat!

This thread has brought me nothing but joy and memes. The memes in turn, have brought me joy and goats.

This came in as I was enjoying my daily bowl of oats. Interesting timing.

You're not doing it right. When you pray you have to start with the @ sign. For example, @thorstach, we await your return...

Merry Christmas from Jerome Powell!

[maizefolk]

And look at that, now the top is in.

As a true follower, I'm bearish. My portfolio is concentrated in long-duration bonds like TLT, EDV, ZROZ, and a bunch of individual issues. So you probably think I did badly today.

Nope, actually. SPY is up 0.92% but my bond funds are up:

TLT: +1.88%
EDV: +2.57%
ZROZ: +2.55%

In conclusion, bulls make money, bears make money, and the top is in for everyone when Santa Powell comes to town.

[MrGreen]

S&P is 1.87% from ATH. I smell a new ATH coming before the end of the year. Who saw that coming in early 2023? Makes me think about anyone that sold RE last summer before interest rates went up and then invested it. That would make 3 years running they pulled in a 20% return. Lucky bastards!

Canadian Bonds VAB: +1.06%  Makes no sense other than the Top is in!

Record DOW , S&P 500 almost at record high, where is Thorstache?   DEC 13th Top is in....

Hi bae

[theninthwall]

Pretty sure you can think me, guys. I spent a lot of this year putting money into more conservative financial options like short term income ETFs instead of the S&P 500, believing a recession was likely. Yet again, proof you shouldn’t try to time the market. Enjoy!

No exclamation points, bold font, all caps, or superfluous analysis?!  Looks like we're only going to get a 5% boost out of this one :(

I feel like we're reducing thorstach to a similar status as Punxsutawney Phil. Do we truly believe in thorstach or is his appearance merely as valuable as a lowly groundhog seeing his shadow?

The real thorstach is the friends we met along the way.

I'm not sure what brings more joy with new market highs. All the extra money in our accounts or the fact that there will be new posts in this thread.

We reached peak Jesus in 34 AD, have yet to recover.

If Thorstach doesn’t tell us about XIV breaking down, the top won’t be in for 6 more weeks.

[JAYSLOL]

Close to a new Top, close to 200 pages of Top is in, and a rare visit from the great one

Thorstach, I want to thank you for taking the time to share your insight into the mysteries of the Almighty Top! 

[Wintergreen78]

Will today be the day? It is so exciting!

[Exflyboy]

Our economy is clearly heading towards "Venezuela Hell Hole" territory any day now!

[MrGreen]

S&P is exactly 56 points, or 1.12% from ATH. I think a new top is going to be under my Christmas tree!

No, no absolutely not! Venezuela Socialist Hell Hole by the end of the week!

It's tough because even though our mentor and savior blessed us with an appearance, there are some inertial effects that are tough to time out. Top is in obeys its own natural laws, but us mortals cannot do that math.

Maybe it's up to us mortals to ensure the prophesy comes to be! After all, it should be less work to make the world worse than to make it better.

Could someone please ping me when it's the right time to go 100% call options on SQQQ. TIA!

[Exflyboy]

Roughly 35 points away from an ATH on the S&P500.

I'm thinking in all seriousness this run up is going to take a breather, then hopefully the rise upwards will continue.
