We’re about halfway through the median bull market of about 46 months, according to JPMorgan. So if this ends up being a typical upswing, investors have about 22 months of runway left.

This is BAD.
As I say, enjoy yourselves.
... and this was under Biden. No one can predict the market.
I’m a long term index fund investor but one has to has the discipline to ride out a downturn or crash that can come at any time at these levels. Everyone is different and not everyone will ride out a 40-50% downturn like 2008-2009.
Investors are betting their money on a Donald Trump victory.
The consistent wall of worry illustrated at FR is great for stocks.
Thanks.
