Don't really see the market going anywhere sustainable until then.


Just think if you had this same mentality in the midst of 2008 and Obama was elected.

Can't imagine any scenario where it makes sense to "cash out." If you want to rebalance, fine, But cash out, no. Having said that, I don't think we are going to see 30k anytime soon.

And do what with the money? The dividends on stocks generate more income than interest bearing securities, most of which are paying close to zero.

I'm 4 years from a planned retirement. I'm up 20% this year overall, after being down 20% in May. Makes me nervous. I wanted 4 more years of a businessman in the white house, but we are back to career politicians running everything.

It’s only about 2.5% away, it could happen sooner than you think.

Maybe you will time it correctly, but I have been reading this board since 2008, and to the best I can remember every single time someone posted this idea they were later proved very wrong.

We hit 30,000 intra day last week before it went down a little.

It could make a run at a closing basis this week. The round number milestones seems to attract the traders to push it over. Wonder if Art Cashin has a Dow 30k hat.

Not quite. Its highest intraday high was on November 16 when the DJ30 hit 29,964.29.

Because 3% is impossible right? It’s not like it’s 25% from where we’re at. We could hit it tomorrow.

I’m thinking about cashing in before the end of the year to avoid paying Biden’s ridiculous capital gains increase!

I know it’s the catchy and popular thing to say amongst conservatives- but there isn’t any real reason to believe Biden is inherently bad or worse for the stock market than Trump. Certain sectors - sure, same as Trump would be worse for certain sectors than Biden. The overall stock market, nothing supports that fear - it’s irrational and mostly emotionally charged (people who don’t like Biden and like Trump).

If you're at or near retirement, it makes lots of sense to move your money into safer investments.

If you're years from retirement, you're leaving money on the table.

What is “safer” investments? Investing into bonds at rock bottom interest rates?

Sure, some people went to cash then and are still sitting in cash. So if that’s the case what’s my return of still sitting in cash vs staying put?

They may have already been holding long term and want to avoid tax increases next year. I personally doubt there will be an increase on the capital gains tax if Georgia goes the way it is expected, though.
