You are assuming that all crashes will bounce back at the same rate. Since I think the last recovery was really a bubble, at some point there will not be a bounce back. If you look at the stock market after the depression, it was slow going.

Check out cvx (chevron), if it is not in your portfolio.

I’ve been looking at it. But for now, I’ve got XOM, RDS/B, and BP. Been adding to those positions all Spring/Summer whenever there was weakness.

Obama’s fault. His is the second Carter administration.

I had been accumulating cash for the past 3-4 years, with the intent of picking up stuff that pays a decent dividend, whenever the buying opportunity presented itself. I had a little cash during the 08-09 down market and picked up some stuff cheap then.
Mrs. abb & I are both retired, so the extra income will be used to take another trip to Yellowstone, or the Smokies, or Grand Canyon, or Florida.

I haven't assumed anything. I'm basing this on a historical track record where the U.S. stock market has rarely (if ever) declined over a ten-year period. Maybe it doesn't bounce back fast, but over the last few years we have seen some very solid numbers in the stock market.
The market capitalization (this doesn't include dividends) of the S&P 500 index has declined for about 25% of the years since 1950. It has declined over a ten-year period less than 13% of the time. With that in mind, why would anyone decide not to invest for the long term?

It’s called funnelling and it is how the oligrachy controls every facet of Americans lives. The fed funnels you to the stock market, the feds funnel you to Obamacare. 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

If you phrase the premise that way, gov’t employees and their unions will fight you tooth and nail. You won’t get their vote.
The key is to understand how unions work against the worker. Union bosses don’t care if bright younger gov’t employees like the one who led us to OBL lose their jobs while the shlub surfing porn sites all day keeps his.

I usually watch Fox Biz, but like CNBC it’s just a huge collection of “voices”. You can hear any opinion you want on CNBC, from Rick “Tea Party” Santelli to liberal lunkhead Steve Liesman.

We are pretty much in the same camp. My brother does 800-1000 trades per year.
