I forget, what happens when you inflate a balloon too much?
Of course you folks have been saying the stock market was inflated for how many years now?
What happened during all that time?
The stock market more than DOUBLED?
Anyone who pretty much ALWAYS says the market is inflated CLEARLY has no clue what they are talking about. They are simply repeating the same thing over and over again in hopes that it will EVENTUALLY happen.
The stock market has more than DOUBLED in the past 5 years. So what if it eventually drops 15 or even 20%. It would STILL be an historic gain. One thing is for certain, at some point the market will suffer a correction. So what? That happens periodically anyway. As long as the gains more than offset the eventual drop - and then begins gaining again, it doesn't really matter for folks who stay in the market.

Exactly Ken.
I think people general invest for capital gains like they did in the housing market. Then they count paper profits and paper losses failing to take into account cash flow.

Remember all the economic "experts" who were predicting massive inflation and deficits back in 2009 when Obama's stimulus increased the money supply? Yeah, what happened with that again...?

I was in gold and silver and rode it up. Got out before the drop. I didn't milk every last penny of it either. Everyone was too exuberant for my comfort.

That's what I think too. I don't agree with a few posters on here who think a crash is going to happen, but almost certainly there is going to be some type of correction. If the investing public thought the market was going to crash, gold would be spiking up, not holding steady as it is now. From the fat that the DOW is up, gold is flat, it's telling me the public is cautiously optimistic; unlike self-professed Libertarians who still hope that, any day now, we'll be in the Second Great Recession
still a smaller workforce than in 2006.....obozo is the worst potus since fdr
So was the workforce during most of 2007 - and so will be the workforce in 2020 (no matter WHO is President). The LFPR peaked at the beginning of 2007 and by the time the Great Recession began at the end of that year it had ALREADY fallen from that all-time high and was down nearly half a percentage point as the aging of America began having an effect.
That's demographics for ya'.

The LFPR peaked in 1999/2000.
