just wondering even thou dow is at record levels if it is still a bargain? if the covid did not hit would we be closer to 36000 or more? we have a lot of cash on the sidelines waiting for a correction but maybe it is already here.
still gonna wait but have been contemplating going back to dollar cost averaging just going into the market slowly every month. our 401k and IRA's have been doing extremely well the last couple years. wont touch them until maybe age 72.
but this cash sitting in the bank only making 1-2% ( fixed from a couple years back ) is bothering me. real estate is almost topped out so that is a no go.
I know you should have about 6-12 months of cash for emergencies but we have almost 10 times that. perhaps blue chips for dividends?
we only use Vanguard Index Funds.

A lot of risk upside in the next 6 months seems to be the consensus.
Maybe a couple more months of linear increase.
I'm sitting 60% in cash right now and the other 40% includes some hedges.
I see the downside of risk of being in the market right now much greater and upside potential.

The wealthy are investing like a market bubble is here, or at least near
A majority of millionaire investors say a stock bubble is occurring, but their market risk appetite is still going up, with a shift in portfolio strategy.

When the market bottom. March and scraped up all the nickels and dimes I could.
But right now I honestly feel that the market is way overpriced and the bond market is not a safe place to put your money in because the long-term rates are going up and you really going to get killed on that too.
If you told me in March what my portfolio would look like now out of told you you're absolutely freaking crazy
If you look at the holdings it's a lot more value-oriented than the S&P 500, and a lot of people seem to think that value might be the place to be.

Value and dividends (reinvested) is where mine mostly goes.
Nothing like a steady quarterly dividend that gives you a sense of security in a stock.

If all you ever do is take long positions and try to time the market as when to buy more, your only investing in 1/3 of the market. The Dow is where it is because of tax cuts, stimulus and the promise of more stimulus. The government has pumped 9ish trillion dollars into the market (economy) over the last 3 years. Debt has gone from 80% of GDP to 130% over the same time. The Fed has been rendered useless and the dollar has been hollowed out. If this administration continues to spend, spend and spend the market will do fine (5%-10%) swings. If this administration decides to be fiscally more responsible than the last, of course, higher taxes and lower profits will result. You can only put everything on a credit card for so long before you have to pay the bill. People like to say we had the greatest economy before the virus, but look at how we got here, We had sub 3% growth to GDP while added trillions to our debt. smh
