The stock market’s bull run officially turns two on Saturday. The S&P 500 is up 61 percent since October 12, 2022, when the index hit its bear-market bottom at 3,577.03.

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.

Personally I’m just going to keep doing more dollar cost averaging each month in the major indexes. It’s been a great strategy even through 2008 and the Covid crash. My indivual stock buys aren’t even close. I’ve been selling them to move into the indexes.

You should always pay the highest possible price for something—like buying stocks at their all time high.

or not..

Lol.

“You should always pay the highest possible price for something—like buying stocks at their all time high.”

ETN hit an all-time high of 77 in 2017. Just hit another all-time high today. 341. Add 30 points for the dividends.

S&P 500 P/E was 40 in 2021. About 30 now.

And the 500 is up about 35% for the period.

Enjoy yourselves while MY country is destroyed.

That means Kamala will win, with Dem House and Senate.

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.

Want to make a small fortune in the stock market?

Start out with a big fortune.

“Want to make a small fortune in the stock market?

You are disconnected from reality.
