Another nice up day today. The Fed is done raising rates, they’ll keep talking tough, but they’re done. I’m happy to be just about fully invested right now, would not want to be hiding out looking to somehow get back in. See you on New Year’s Day!

Maybe I'll make sure I have a hangover on New Year's Day.
If investing isn't PAINFULLY boring, then you're not doing it right.
Very likely, the market is whipping your butt.
If you're not retired early, and you want to be, you're not doing something right.
That's the real measure. If you have freedom of action do do what you want, before most people, you have succeeded.
If you're making 12% a year, but still slaving away for the man in a cubicle at age 65, you've overspent.

I agree with you on that. Money can’t buy you happiness, but it sure does buy you options.
Funny, on days like today those famous technicians that go on CNBC--Carter Worth, Krasinsky, et al are nowhere to be found! yet, in October when we were having a pullback and close to a 10% correction ( which are totally normal and a feature of investing in stocks) they were all over the airwaves with "well, now that we broke the trendline, blah, blah blah " spewing gloom and doom
Bottom line is that if you’re a long-term investor, the biggest risk to reaching your goals likely isn’t a bear market. Stocks’ long-term annualized return of 10% includes bear markets! Bigger risk? Missing bull returns

~31 July 2023 looks to have been my recent high, about enough difference since then to buy a 1975 home.
No complaints, up well over last yr at this time, but fidelity only holds my trading / play money. I've withdrawn only for toys and fluff. (such as a new roof this yr) Fridge, and a few other major purchases that I didn't count on.
Not starving (yet). Plenty of reserves... cash and fat. (still at HS weight 50+ yrs later) But not running nearly as fast. (by foot or vehicle). Plenty fast for my age.
but ... Not fast enough to short the market. (and win)
