Now, the market is closer to reflecting the actual value of stock, and if you include the likely scenario of interest rates increasing, it is overvalued.
Unless you are close to retirement, a day trader or managing a stock based ponzi scheme, why the fook would you be happy about short term bumps to your "portfolio". Again, its like bach just watched wall street, understood none of it and is trying to play some sort of ignorant, poor man's Gordon Gekko.

The current rise in prices seems to be driven by a combination of general growth that is a legacy of Obama years that Trump has nothing to do with and the likelihood of corporate tax cuts driving up dividends that Trump has a lot to do with.
Since the latter overwhelmingly benefits wealthy investors, I don't think you can crow too much about that with also rejecting the argument that said cuts favor the wealthy investor class.
The weird thing is our market is actually underperforming comparable international markets and that's with a massive corporate tax cut financed by debt on the way. Not sure what that says. If the argument is that there is an investment bubble, then I'd worry more about Germany and Japan.

Oh, if only I had more of my portfolio in international stocks. Guess I can't complain too much.
Sharing information and opinions on issues that a reasonably well-read person would be conversant with is no vice or great labor.
I can see how that would be confused with putting on the airs of expertise for someone like yourself, though. Don't let your fake monocle fall out.

And what’s a practical definition of “ton of free time”?
How about YTD avg of 7 posts/day on a message board with your handle in green print?
