Stuff I wonder about.... random thoughts.
I'm watching the VIX.... 22... when to worry? Never
Would like to know more about the bank ETF's. Google
What can the Fed do? They don't know
What about the China bounce? Like a dead cat
What do you think may be triggers to watch? None. Life is too short
Will the volatility continue? Probably
Consumer Confidence... short term or long term? Yes, no, maybe
Will what goes down... come up? Yes. No.
What do you see as strengths? My ability to see the future
Or maybe it will all be over by tomorrow.

I watch the VIX. At 24 or 25 it becomes interesting. Anything over 25 and that could be considered a time to buy the market. Over 30 definitely a time to buy. We have reached those levels only at some of the most fearful times in the market. I think we need a little more fear yet to put any cash to work. Your results may vary.
It's all because of the person who had to make the Wheeeee post. He/she knew they shouldn't have done it, but went ahead and did it anyhow.
What? I missed the "wheeee" post and my opportunity to SELL? Why didn't anyone TELL me?? I KNEW I shouldn't have gone out of town!
I am over my all time high as well, and patting myself on the back for not starting another Wheee!!! thread about it.
...
OMG! W2R typed the dreaded W-word... we are DOOMED.
I have my computer set up to automatically move everything to cash when she mentions the "w" word.

Best June in 81 years for DJIA.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Woo-hoo! I'm probably going to w*rk about 5 more years, so I'm happy to be able to snap up some bargains! (I'm actually kinda disappointed to see my NW drop, but hey, I have to find the upside in order to stay the course.)

You have the right attitude. I always had to laugh at the 30-40 yo's at work who thought it was GREAT that the market was going up, and TERRIBLE when it tanked. I would keep telling them, they have it BACKWARDS for them. A few finally caught on. Not that they could do anything about the market.
I *may have posted a pic of a family having a bunch of fun on a roller coaster...with the caption something like "hang on kiddos!"
I didn't sell though, all I do is buy. Talk to me in about 12 years when I switch to passive income lol.
, and then confirm, that I have a high tolerance for such events.
Could not stand it any longer and sold / gave away all my socks accumulated during the working years. Hated to part with them - but I am retired now and rebalancing my wardrobe.
Hat tip to Shane.
