At what point are you considering backing off a little?

The stock market is a rocket ship right now. When does the music start slowing?

Can't time the market. Invest regularly you hit high times and low times but averages out. Just make sure to be diversified and your be good

I'm fairly young so I'm just riding the waves. I buy more S&P etf's every month and otherwise just leave it alone.

I'm taking most of my individual tech stock gains and moving to ETFs (splg, schg, SPMO)

Asset allocation and periodic re-balancing are your friends. Large Growth stocks are overvalued, maybe, and if the bubble pops that's where most of the air will come from. Other asset types are not overvalued, or at least not as much.

I don't expect to spend it all in my lifetime. So, I'm staying fully invested long term for my heirs. Worst case, I can pretty much sustain current lifestyle w pension so not too concerned about premature depletion of retirement savings due to sequence of returns risk.

I will back off if I ever find myself not enjoying life the way I would want to for the sake of "saving fur the unknown future", or when I finally sell my company and go into living off of my nest egg full time.

About a month ago I started putting 401k contributions into a Money Market (Treasury) Fund that is offered by our plan. I max it out each year over the course of each paycheck. I didnt touch the funds I'd been in for over a decade. I just have new cash going into "reserve" for a pull back.
Similar in my IRA to someone above me, exited some growth stocks that were pretty fluffy and went into 50% treasury fund and a few large caps that are more traditional.
Who knows, I've been right way less than I've been wrong! Ha!

If tweet fails to load, click here. and we are just watching it happen, they don’t fricking care…it’s all out in the open. The china tweet bullshite last week was just a trial run to see if anyone would notice or if the regulatory systems in place would allow it. Nobody is minding the store

This thread pops up every 6 months or so.
Also, the answer is never.

As true as that is the concept of buy and hold for decades doesn’t work anymore and it’s not a great strategy. You have to be flexible or you are leaving lots of money behind. You have to reposition and make adjustments.

S&P is up 13% YoY, up 90% over the last 5 years. If it's not a rocket ship then it's at least a fighter jet.
All that said, watch auction tails and gold.

I diversified and it counteracts a lot of days. I have good days and bad days but averaging over 20% gains a year. Why change with those results? I am not into a get rich quick stocks. I believe is steady gains and solid companies. Yes it's boring but it works for me.
With that said, I sell when I no longer believe in a company. And then I allocate the funds to companies I believe in.
I buy every Tuesday at the same time. Some days its low some days its high. Steady does it
