Not a good time to be playing the market. I'm kinda hoping it'll crash again so I can sink all my money into indexes on the ground floor, so to speak.
Agreed. I have pulled some out, and am holding off on our Roth contribution this year in the chance that it crashes before next. Markets are impossible to time by nature, but I think we must be near a high-water mark. Once rising rates give alternative options for returns, money is going to move.
Just speculation Edit: I tried to find the source for the comments on this ZeroHedge post and the above was not it... so, it's ZeroHedge, but, yeah.
Seems probable. I am sure they feel like they have to prick the bubble, but don't want to do it too soon, and get blamed for an economic downturn. It's pretty clear that the tools at their disposal can create asset bubbles much more efficiently than they can economic growth.
