Like hey guys, what could possibly happen?

Record prices is what America's had for centuries.

I am an investor in stocks with 30 years experience. I do not see anything I would buy in this market. Usually, a situation like that does not last long.

I have maxed out my 401K contribution since long before it was called a 401K. (It was a “stock savings plan” back then.) It’s the ideal world. When stock prices are high - you may not be buying much, but what you have is sure worth a lot. When stock prices are low - they may not be worth much, but you’re sure buying a lot.

The only way I would be buying in this market is if the Federal reserve dropped money from helicopters on my property.

So I wait...

just don’t complain about your 401K balance if/when the market tanks 30-50%.

pay your money and take your chances.

Get out of stocks and bonds while you still can.
