I'd take stock markets crash any day now.

Imagine S&P 500 going down to 1200.

It'd be glorious!!!

Everyone would buy stocks!!

So cheap.

God i love this stuff.

When I see someone typing stuff like this I seriously doubt they would do much of anything with stocks regardless of a market crash.

You might as well just type "I don't actually invest I just talk a lot about it" and be done here.

well , it is what it is . high valuations when you first pull the plug and retire can suck . i am planning around below average returns for the first decade . it has never played out any different .
going out a decade or so has always averaged out to below average .

so i just plan a draw that is lower and hope for things being better then average . that is one of the things the prompted the decision to delay taking ss longer

except that does not happen in a vaccum . your job and income will likely go with it , at least most folks would see their jobs gone , in jeopardy or taking a hefty pay cut

why folks think real estate and stocks crash in a vacuum escapes me .

Remember the line from Wall Street, when Marv is staring at the stock tickers near the end of the movie...."I do love it so".


Yeah, this beats throwing the money at an index fund and the boredom that comes with that.

Next ones will happen in a vacuum

I assure you mathjak.

Don't worry about unemployment.

It is so riggable it'll always remain around 5% regardless.

Cheap stocks are good for economy.

I'll buy Boeing and LM
