Here’s your history lesson for the day:
Here is a math lesson. The percentage gains you mention are SUBSTANTIALLY less from $44.06 to $1000 versus $40k-$50k. One is 22.5x and one is 1.25x.
How long will it take us to be at DOW $1.125 million ($50k x 22.5)? Because that is the proper comparison for 44.06 to $1000.

You sound tongue in cheek, but that's what many investors have been conditioned to expect. Don't you think?
Never ending money printing has led to that.
It's why many don't mind the degradation of the dollar, because they have the 'savvy' to counteract it via the markets, unlike the lesser plebes.

Please let us know when you stop and start panic selling.

I’ve stopped throwing money in and paying more on mortgage. Always a way to take money away

Never a bad idea to pay down on debt, especially higher interest debt. Guaranteed return and the less debt you have, the easier it is to ride out rough patches and buy when the markets are crashing.

Yeah main house is 5.25 so just been burning that for a bit.

I'm taking profits from my oil and gas plays as they go to LTCG. Gonna sit on cash for just a bit. Still making regular contributions and buying a few things on bad days here and there, but I have a feeling we haven't hit bottom yet. I always like to have a little ammo on hand.

How much do people normally keep for this ammo?
I’m sitting at like 10% of investments in cash but also it merges with savings?

All your concern about the market and you’re only 10% cash? You’ve been calling for a correction for years, it finally happens, and you’re only 10% cash including your savings

Judging from OT threads, he needed to divert his savings to Lego because the sets are so expensive.

You’re telling me you hold hundreds of thousands in cash?
I don’t believe you.

I'm at 15% now. Shooting to get it up to 20%. Usually keep about 5-10%.

Man I’m not smart enough to move money. I just leave it and keep buying. I do have a rainy day fund around 110k to take advantage of steep drop off. Then would move that money back into bonds once it gets back to ATH.
