I’m in, and thus vulnerable, but what are the options? Cash is 100$ susceptible to inflationary devaluation or a collapse of the dollar. Banks are talking about charging people for depositing their money - instead of paying interest. Precious metals are all over the map, and real estate is also a risky investment.
Having said that, the market doesn’t seem to have much to do with reality.
100$ = 100%
Same here, almost all in.
Most of us here are pretty self-sufficient, if the SHTF.
My only rule, I won’t eat my dogs.
I think the lesson to take away is that now might not be the best time to jump in. Those already in will just have to keep playing the game.
Which is exactly why the stock market should keep going up. Inside the matrix, it is still the best place to put money, so people are putting it there. It will fall when that is no longer true, but not before.
That's the key point. There are no other options. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that during the other bubbles bonds were paying 5%. So there were real choices for those getting nervous.
But now it's either take stock risk or rotate into bonds paying 1 or 2%. That's not even keeping up with inflation. With no other option, people are going to stay put, giving this bubble a ways to go, IMHO.
