Yup. The Russell-2000 didn't even get to within 10% of touching its March 2021 highs. The only "party" was in US large-cap...not international, not small-cap or mid-cap. It was a very exclusive party.

If the past 6 months were another bout of "irrational exuberance", I'd hate to see what flinty pessimism looks like.

The S&P 500 is currently 110% higher than where it was 7 years ago.

I think the stock market is doing alright.

I look at what I retired with. Can't make more contributions since then so growth is what I look for. 2017 is fine...but it's not my bar. I was contributing back then.

Yeah this sure is a short and kinda weak bull run if it ends now and we pull back already.

The Middle East is starting to be a hot spot again, crude prices are up. No drop in Interest Rates. Hard to buy a home. Inflation, crazy Politics going on.

Hopefully the Market taking a Pause is only a Pause.

There are always pullbacks in every bull run. That’s a feature not a bug. We have nearly a century of data that shows that over and over again.

we spend 80% of all our investing time somewhere between the last high and last low .

it’s all part of the deal until someone figures out how to avoid the worst days without missing the best days
