[quote=Anonymous]I have a pile of cash I'm sitting on and was going to dump it into the market and selected a number of stocks that appealed to me. Goal is long term holding, not short term. But then I looked at the stock history and was shocked to notice how steady the stocks were up till about 2016 and then it completely soared. Microsoft is a good example. It was fairly flat between 1999 and 2016 but jumped from $55 in that year to $400+ today! Same pattern for other tech stocks. The run up in the last few years is staggering. Now I'm a bit worried. This can't be sustainable. I'm not changing any of the automatic monthly contributions aka 401k/Roth but realistically the market must come down at some point, no? Or flatline for a steady 15 years?
