I went back to look -- in November 2013 I asked for advice on whether to get back into the market after having sat on the sidelines for last 5 years in a stupid money market, missing the five year ride back up.
After reflecting on the advice given here I picked an AA I could live with (65/35) and went all in at once.
$70K up so far this year! Of course, I recognize it could have and still could go the other way.
You can't time the market.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

hmm, wonder if I should've done a rebalance today? If I had, then the market would have shot up on Monday. But since I didn't, I predict it drops.

Hangovers, sunburns, and indigestion.

I thought about that, but got distracted and lost track of time. More evidence of a likely drop on Monday.

I don't think there will be a drop longer term. This IMO is a Nirvana economy, at least for right now.

After reading these posts I am certain of a correction in the near term.

There are on average 3 to 4 corrections a year. You have to look at the current environment and trend to really determine where things are going economy wise. At the moment they're good but you never know.
Happy 4th!
