I don’t know. If Elizabeth Warren is the RAT nominee I would expect it to hurt stock prices. If she were to get elected I would expect a HUGE selloff and a market crash. Be careful!

Consult your financial advisor. Mine has planned for most every scenario.

If President Trump wins re-election next year, I will definitely be upping my 401k contribution. If, God forbid, a democrat wins, I’ll be cutting my contribution down to 6%.

Stock market = crap shoot.

My husband and I enjoy researching and buying our own stocks through Vanguard. We are retired and have nothing better to do and it is fun. For instance, we just bought more MDCO today after it going up over $20+ to $70 in the last two days alone! Better jump in.....analysts say it’s going much higher!

Our return for the year is 33%+ so far on all our stocks!

From Fidelity "The Business Cycle Approach to Equity Sector Investing": https://www.fidelity.com/webcontent/ap101883-markets_sectors-content/19.11.0/business_cycle/Business_Cycle_Sector_Approach_2019.pdf The business cycle has four distinct phases. The U.S. is firmly in the late cycle as of 2019.

The Late Phase is the third and last phase of the recovery/growth cycle and is followed by the recession phase. The paper cites that sometimes phases can be retraced or even skipped, but the four phase cycle is the norm. Clearly it is time to be careful.

The trend is your friend, until it’s not.
The turkey loves the trend until Thanksgiving.

My return so far this year is about the same as yours. That increase is about 6X my highest salary when I retired about 18 months ago.

Are you thinking of Roulette? The house edge for Craps on a Pass Line bet are 1.41% and 1.36% on the Don’t Pass. If you lay the odds bet after the point the house edge is 0%.

I agree, I worked in the stock market almost 40 years as an equities trader.

Sadly, some people chase penny stocks. A worthless endeavor in every respect.

I put half a mil in the s&p500 and another half a mil in bonds/treasury bills. Automatic pilot.

I’m diversified in Fidelity and Vanguard. I lose less than the market when it falls and make less when it rises but I make enough to withdraw 4 percent annually for retirement.

My AMD stock went up about $10 this past month.
Today’s price $41.29
I almost sold when as it was meandering around $28 to $34 for much of the year. The trade war is dying down or more predictable for Wall Street. AMD is gaining market share.

Well, my stock account has almost doubled in the past 4 years, so there is that. And that does not include dividends received.

...And the S&P 500 is now on track for its best year since 1996...

There is a more than just a little cherry-picking in that statement.

In late 2018 the S&P dropped almost 20%, hitting a low on December 24.

A lot of the "best year" is just a recovery from that drop.

OTOH, the market is doing quite well and I am happy.
