I have money in a roth that is just chilling, I have been waiting for back to back down days to jump in. Well I've been waiting almost 2 months, oops

Uncle Ben (Bernanke) still has YOUR back!

Year FIVE of this HISTORIC bull market rally is off to a fine start indeed.

Think I read on here somewhere that mathjak only has a 25% position in equities???

Pure INSANITY given the Fed's easy-money policy over the last several years.

Dude left way to much EASY dough on the table.

Anyway, learn from THE ORACLE:

“American business will do fine over time,” Buffett writes. “And stocks will do well just as certainly, since their fate is tied to business performance. Periodic setbacks will occur, yes, but investors and managers are in a game that is heavily stacked in their favor.”

He adds: “Since the basic game is so favorable...the risks of being out of the game are huge compared to the risks of being in it.”

That broad market index now just a point or two from its all-time closing high

With the housing and job markets continuing to improve, this is shaping up to be yet another BIG year for U.S. stocks.


Have to pity the frightened boomers and doomers who are still missing out on all these delicious, historic gains...

The S&P 500 has finally broken its all-time record high! It is at 1567 as I type this.

Let's see if it can maintain above this level by the closing bell today.

[BigCityDreamer]

The S&P 500 is at 1578 - yet another record high.

The momentum is strong from this vantage point. :-)

S&P 500 is at 1649, and climbing.
