DOW heading 20K !
Who would have thunk and does anyone have the thread started earlier in the year predicting where the DOW might end 2016 ?
The way things are going I may have to rebalance before the end of 2016.

Looks like 20,000 (or higher) is a real possibility. Who would have thought that a month ago.

True that. The problem is they often went down a lot, and stayed down for many years before they go up again.
Up until the market crashed, was it not in an uptrend? Will it be different now? Up and never down ever again? A true "permanently high plateau" this time?

Whenever folks get giddy about the market, it's my cue to dial back on equities

Does FIRECalc have that as an investment option, instead of plain old rebalancing?

Yet my portfolio is roughly 2% off it's high earlier this year. Healthcare has taken a hit and my bond component has dragged it down a bit as well.

I love days like this, I cheer on all my stocks. GO TEAM GO! It's fun to watch. I know it can turn down tomorrow but I enjoy the stock market and I'm still in accumulation stage.

Stock up is good for people who are converting it to bread caviar, Cognac, airfares, RVs, etc... People still accumulating should cheer for it to crash.

As long as certain Louisiana denizens keep their mouths shut and avoid the W word, we should be OK.
