Time will tell. But I wouldn’t get too cocky. The bond market has been acting skittish. There is a lot more to the economy than the stock market. The bond market is way more important.

Not to mention, it's pretty cocky to assume that a healthy pension and healthcare will be there for life. Things change.

Right. One cancer diagnosis to medical bankruptcy.

Good for you. We’re in good shape too. Lots of people aren’t. Dems lost the election because lots of Americans didn’t personally feel the effects of the stock market recovery and other economic growth.

Guess what PP before this last comment: your 401k can go down $942,000 in two months just like it went up.
