Maybe we're in an "anti-Depression" 
The 1930's Depression lasted soooooo long....maybe we're in a "Twilight Zone" episode of some sort....
Just to be safe, I bought an extra cushion because it's gonna hurt SOOOO BAADD when this ends!!!!
But I still won't go back to w**K!!!!

C'mon, Dow!!! You can do it!   |
With Friday's 228 point increase in the Dow, it didn't even matter if my estimated tax payments went through. I reached my milestone. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd see "X dollars" in my portfolio + bank accounts. I suppose it's not a lot by forum standards, but it's a lot by W2R standards.
I remember a time when I didn't have a dollar to my name. Those were the Days of Catsup Soup but they are long gone. Life sure has some amazing twists and turns.

Well, I'll tell you, I am really enjoying looking nearly every day and feeling flush--gosh, in fact, rich. When things crash I just don't look--out of sight and out of mind. Works for me.
I'm with those who say, let's have fun when we can.

Guess I'm almost having to do the reverse. Having throttled back my A-A significantly in 2016 upon retirement (visions of reverse glide slope), I'm now feeling about as smart as Free bird's cat. So it's these days I'm finding myself tempted not to look...

And then there are the comments from a Nobel Prize winning economist, made a bit over a year ago (Nov 9, 2016 to be exact) (emph mine):
Quote:
Still, I guess people want an answer: If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never. ....
So we are very probably looking at a global recession, with no end in sight.

Do they ever take back Nobel Prizes?

It's been incredibly fun to watch multiple times a day the increasing market. The personal investments and net worth rapid accent has been absolutely staggering. Crazy run.
