My Comments: Paranoia is an elusive thing. Just because you’re paranoid, it doesn’t mean there’s no one out there intent on putting you down. It’s much the same with the stock market. Just because we’ve not had a market correction now for almost nine years, it doesn’t mean there is one just around the corner. …

The Perfect Storm (Of The Coming Market Crisis)
My Comments: We do not live in a perfect world. Flaws are all around us. As responsible adults, we always try to make good decisions, and mostly we succeed. Until we don’t. If you expect to live another 20 or 30 years, the money you’ll need to pay your bills has to come from somewhere. …

A Stock Market Crash In 2018?
My Comments: Last Monday, I posted comments from three people who said with conviction there was no reason to expect a market correction any time soon.

U.S. Stock Valuations haven’t been this Extreme since 1929 and 2000
My Comments: I wasn’t here in 1929 but I was here in 2000. If there is such a thing as handwriting on the wall, you should be able to see it. We’d had a great run up and the year 2000 was just around the corner. Everyone was worried that our computers would crash because …
