I think what this all means the next crash is going to be brutal. Absolutely brutal. And a crash will happen eventually. It can happen this Monday or 15 years from now.

The biggest culprit in my humble opinion is the Federal reserve rate cutting mani in the post COVID era. And now we have a juiced up market hugging kissing policy. There is way way too much cash sitting in the sideline. Where is a this cash supposed to go? Back in the market.

Then you have the cultish VOO/VTI/VT/SCHD/whatever passive index DCA for life folks. These people are knee deep in the cult and will assist you if you say anything about passive investing.

Sorry but we live in an era of mass thinking and cult-like moves.

I can tell you've thought about this a lot. And researched the issue thoroughly.

The bigger question is why are you so disappointed?

Why would you invest in something that you don’t believe in politically? That would be pretty dumb to support opposing political views with your own money! Derp.

Because where else to invest? Europe is worse off than us in the long run and emerging markets can be risky.

What is wrong with dollar cash averaging? I've been doing that for 25 years or so. How does that hurt anyone?

(I'm invested in vanguard 500 index fund and in an actively managed vanguard fund-- like in most cases, given the fees for the actively managed fund, the index seems to have done better over the long run.)

And did you mean to say that the cultist will "assist" folks? I imagine you must have intended a different word here-- why would you have a problem with people helping others?

I'm pretty sure valuations for emerging markets, international developed, and small cap are more attractive than US large cap. But if you were diversified to begin with, there is nothing to change

With US stocks having an average P/E ratio of 24 there are very historical example years of stocks continuing to climb for the next 5-10. The norm is -2 to +2 percent growth.

In recommend at least 40% international stocks at the moment. Better historical based chances for growth especially with the current U.S. govt’s effort to lower the value of the U.S. dollar 10%

Don’t invest with your heart. You won’t do well.

Reading over it again, I think you meant "attack" rather than "assist". Do I have that right?

PP here. I mean to say "assault" instead of assist. You are correct there is nothing wrong with DCA and VOO for life. The point I wanted to make was that because passive invest people will ALWAYS keep dumping money into the market no matter what. This is why the stock market has no choice but to keep having all time high after all the high. Yes it has work say for the past 50 years or whatever. But this makes the next crash more and more worse.

But the reality is I don't know sh**t. I'm just guessing. And nobody in there right mind should follow my advice. I have been ACTIVELY investing as opposed to passively over the past 10 years. And currently I am up 2% YTD.
