I wonder if the fast rising stock market of 2014 will end up like in 2000. Before anyone had filed their taxes, they had lost the gains and then hit by the double whammy of income tax - this is surefire way to make one more generation wary of saving for their futures.
--or as CNBC says -- The US Market Is Trading Like It's 1999. It's sure that since '09 we've had a big run-up, just like we had by '83 and the next dozen years saw stocks increase ten fold. Then again, like you say we had different leadership in '83 than we do now.
