That being said, it looks like the up and up and up movement of the market has peaked, it is more volatile and unpredictable.
You seem new to this. That sort of volatility is a sigh of underlying problems.

So let's get this straight... you are hoping for financial ruin for millions of people to satisfy your personal greed?

No wonder why this country is declining.

It's only financial ruin for idiots who bail out at the bottom and refuse to go back in.

since buffet called the bond bubble ready to burst years ago when bonds it 3% which was 1/2 their historical yield , since that wrong call appreciation went up almost 100% and still holding well.

no one knows what is next and those who run on yesterdays news are destined to be a lot poorer because there is never a good time for any asset.

No, it's not. Do you live in a fairyland?!

Recessions KILL people. The market crashing means thousands of Americans lose their jobs and have suffering ahead of them. It is the epitome of greed to wish that on other people just to satisfy your lust for wealth.

Recessions are cyclical.. but people who hope and yearn for them to make an extra buck need to get a psych evaluation. Stop trying to time the market and just go in. I hope we don't have another major recession.

I'm already in this market. I just don't feel comfortable with how long this bull has lasted. We need another crash to kick off a secular bull.

Dollar cost averager here, generally don't bother trying to time the market. That being said I'm sitting on a lot of cash waiting for the streak to break because stocks are doing way too well for me right now.

I dollar cost average but I only buy in when there's panic. Like the last 2 weeks I bought when the market went down 1% or so. I refuse to buy when people are stupidly bullish. I also loved to buy mid-October, Mid-December, etc.
This is a February, it's almost guaranteed to be a down month. The analysts are just trying to sell stock by being unnecessarily bullish.

He doesn't live in Fairyland. He makes small scale investment decisions based on large scale economic happenings.

What happens in markets is they overshoot the optimum and have a correction. A small over shoot followed by a small correction isn't that big of a deal. We had a large overshoot peeking in 1999, then another one peeking in 2007. We've got three overshoots at the same time currently.

If you've got a toothache. Do you want it pulled? What you see as greed I see as OK lest get the pain over with.

Every market has a bargain. You just have to be willing to do your home work. We bought our fixer in a super hot market and looked at nearly 100 houses before we bought ours. We also bought it for 15k under asking. Unheard of at the time. We found a rich relative that just wanted to unload his Aunt's house. See leg work and home work. Now get on out there and start making some money!
