There are lot of arrogant and confident people on this forum. Nobody has a crystal ball. But I urge everyone to do a little reading about that particular part of the world where the conflict is happening. Don't just go back 100 years, go further back. You will then understand that this time our hubris may cost us a lot.

Not just a war, but this particular war that is causing an oil shock. There have been plenty of ME wars, but none has closed the straits.

Trend is down until proven otherwise. Lower highs, lower lows. I wouldn't buy anything until confirmation of a trend change. Yes, you miss the absolute bottom, but saves you from buying a falling knife.

I posted about 6-7 weeks in response to someone else’s post that I was liquidating most of my non-conservative investments. Will have a tax hit, but the loss is minimal.
I was burned many years ago when the market fell and I lost a huge amount because I was being a pig, rather than more conservative by taking out my profits before the market fell. Painful lesson.

We were at war for 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan and the market did great.


Great is relative...I mean, it took until 2013 for the S&P to return to its 2000 high. In between, you had 9/11, Iraq/Afghanistan wars, 08/09 financial crisis.

It did great from 2013 until 2021, but the bulk of the war expense happened prior to 2013.

+1 plus our debt wasn’t this high. This admin is determined to bankrupt America.

Probably get a recessionary flush before they print money and causes price to spike.

If I had to guess, I'd say we dip down to that level but will not be there by the end of the year. On the bright side, maybe we'll get some answers on the Epstein Files then, since apparently we weren't supposed to talk about it while the DOW was above 50K.

If that happens will Pam Bondi release the rest of the Epstein files?


I do hope she is asked about this in her upcoming subpoenaed testimony.

Looking at futures and we may be at DOW 40,000 by the end of the week.

The good news though this will be a reminder to GenZ and others who think 10+% return year after the year is the norm.

For everyone's sake assume 7% return over the longe run.
