Who cares what the market will do in the next few months when you'll have 8+% annualized returns over a 30 year period? |

But yeah, today is TOTALLY different...
Back in 1979 there was a huge article on businessweek titled "The Death of Equities" and stocks had basically stayed flat for over a decade. Subsequent decades (80s and 90s) experienced double digit annualized gains.
Here we are today, stocks have been flat for over a decade, people are saying "bubububu this time is different, stocks are done for", yet the delta between the earnings yield relative to the treasury yield is some of the highest it's ever been since the 1950s, which also experience another bull market in the following 15 years.
The markets ALWAYS climb a wall of worry. There's ALWAYS something bad happening or hanging over the market's head.
Who gives a shit, stocks are the best investment for the long haul and if you're globally diversified you will have great returns over most people's investment horizon.
This is probably the best fucking time to invest since the late 1970s. If you're in your twenties and not loading your portfolio with stocks and holding onto them for 30+ years you're a dumb faggot that shouldn't be in the market to begin with. |

Look at what happened since like 1995. Two massive bubbles, two massive declines. It is just UP and DOWN. The S&P hasn't been able to break around 1,550 in 20 years. I will be surprised if it does net 10 years either. |

STOCKS ARE VOLATILE AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VOLATILE. It's not uncommon for stocks to lose 50% of their value in any given year, or double their returns over a span of a few years for that matter. Nothing whatsoever has changed about the risk characteristics of stocks. In the short term, they are risky. But I don't give a shit about tomorrow, I give a shit about 30 years from now. And barring some catastrophic event, billions of chinese and indians entering the middle class and embracing some form of consumerism will be good for the global economy, good for business, and good for my investment returns.
Hedge Funds and high velocity trading are just newfangled market participants. It doesn't matter at all. |

Regardless, if cumulative returns are 0% over the twenty year time period, valuations for stocks will be a scorching value.
Now is the time to load up. If you don't, you're a fool and are falling victim to boomer market timing. Don't be an idiot fucking boomer that doesn't know how to win at the stock market game. |
