^^^ I think you did a smart thing and honestly SERIOUSLY considered the same last month but complacency and a busy schedule I decided to hang in there for one more run that may never happen or may happen, who the heck knows.Ive taken some profits over the past month. I do believe next year will have problems.
Ive been in this situation before over the last two years or so and always hung in there, its worked out well for me but I just can't get over this feeling that ... I just dont know.
The market is not life or death for me or make or break, majority of my holdings are in real estate for many decades now but I would feel a sting if the market tanks right now to the point that it would be upsetting.
The stock market started out as a fun thing on and off over decades but now after the gains I want to hold onto them *LOL* in my funds account I did make a small move of 1/3rd into a global fund, thinking and hoping as the virus subsides overseas things will get a bit of a kickstart... or maybe at least the promise of it.
In my risker individual speculative account the dip the other week bothered me a little bit.
Even though I am fully invested, my gut says and I feel much like you. I think the future has real issues next year and years following with our insatiable appetite for debt. We are living in a bubble, funded by government debt/money printing. Yeah... so is the rest of the world... except our arch enemy who we buy everything from is in pretty darn good shape..
