Have considered it but am afraid to. Market timing is a loser in most all cases.
I understand, but timing the market after the longest bull run in history and after reckless policy reducing taxes while spending more and causing foreign trade issues is a recipe for a downturn. Not to mention Boomers who have or will start reallocating assets out of stocks.
and short the hell out of this market?
I am close.
What is with the recent hate of the boomers? Not saying you do. It is just that I have noticed the recent focus on baby boomers across much of media. Did I miss a memo?
That's what some people were saying when the market hit 15,000. I personally started purchasing Corporate Bonds a couple of years ago.
I don't have any hate for the boomers. It makes sense for them to get out of relatively risky stocks now that they are retiring. I think that puts heavy pressure on the market buyers. And at the risk of offending millenials, they are less likely to invest a lot in financial markets for many reasons. Supply and demand. This market has gone up enormously for the last decade. I could be wrong, but I don't see much more upside before a major correction.
yeah I didn’t think you did. But the boomer phrase has appeared on here more than I ever remember.
I agree with the much more upside comment.
But I’m still nervous to move to cash. Everyone I’ve ever tried to time anything related to money I’m wrong
Trying to time the market never works out well. Just reallocate. If you did this in the early 90’s you would be sorry.If you aren't near retirement and have a 20+ year time frame, I wouldn't worry about timing. Otherwise, don't be surprised if you lose 20% or more of your investments in the next few years.

By short... what do you mean?and short the hell out of this market?
I am close.

By short... what do you mean?
Selling everything and putting it somewhere safe? or are you going to get into the derivative markets and use call and put options??
Awful difficult to catch a falling knife.
If Sanders or Warren are elected president I would expect a 30-40% loss.If you aren't near retirement and have a 20+ year time frame, I wouldn't worry about timing. Otherwise, don't be surprised if you lose 20% or more of your investments in the next few years.
Most boomers haven’t saved enough, they can’t afford to pull their money out.
besides, when I retire my strategy will be to put 5 years of needed money into bonds, the rest let it keep riding.
So, now that the Dow is at 28,000, would it make it more or less likely that a market correction is coming? As my frame of reference for the market, I use the S&P 500, which is much broader than the Dow.
Nobody thinks it will keep going higher when their taxes go up. Unless you think people will spend more money when their checks are smaller.For those thinking that a major correction is due, can you explain why exactly you think this market is so overvalued and what you think a reasonable valuation should be?

There will definitely be a negative correction at some point in time...there will be a downturn at some point, make no mistake.
Pork bellies... I knew it. I knew it!I put it all in frozen concentrated OJ. Got an inside tip that the crop report is going to be bad.
But reversion to the mean is something that definitely concerns me. You don't just go up up up forever. That much has been proven irrefutably true.
Bold.

I’m not a finance guy but have dabbled with some inverse ETFs. AMZA and SDS are two I have currently.
