I don't disagree, and looking at the overall market today, you aren't alone in your decision.

1.5 trillion for infrastructure rebuilding... ?

I'm sure Caterpillar will absolutely love it if bill was signed and money started flowing.

Greenspan today warned of bubbles both in stocks and bonds, and predicted a stagflation.

So how to shelter asset value/wealth?

Alfred, I'm googling for that and can't find it. Was it CNBC?

 

[Alfred_B]

Yes, CNBC

Thank You. Let's keep our seat belts fastened.

Amazon had a great 4th quarter due to Christmas and AWS cloud.

I wonder when will Amazon stock split ?

I did buy a few shares a few years ago and want to buy more...

Anybody buying? If not, when??

Not surprised of the over due correction. Talk about volatility today, I watched the DOW go from -700 to -1500 in 8 minutes. Look at the slope of the DOW over the last year ... that kind of gain can't last forever - a lot of it driven by hype IMO. The bigger the bubble gets, the thinner and more fragile it becomes.

I'm not surprised by the bit of correction.
The market has been on a literal rampage the last year.
Side note I just added 5500 to my Roth IRA

 

[Mr Nice]

Nothing to worry about...

Did you do this to catch up before doing the taxes, or because the market is down/lower?

This was for my 2018 contribution because market is bit is lower.
Mb wouldn't have been a bad idea to do it on Jan 1st either.

I was actually expecting this correction a bit earlier than this.

Yeah, percentage decline and points decline can be very misleading when TV reporters on the evening news are parroting "biggest point decline in history"....

Either way there are no worries.
