So the market is wrong and only you understand how dire things are?
Considering that if you used Google and searched, there are a lot of articles about this, so no, I'm not the only one who knows. The stock market has never been a true barometer of where our economy is and no, I'm not the only one who knows that either.

Articles are designed for clicks and are largely clickbait garbage, especially in terms of finance.

The stock market looks forward and it actually is the one of the key barometers for how the economy is doing. The economy is complex, but markets at new highs is a good thing. Your definition of a good economy may just be different.

Well, not really. The market is being manipulated by the huge amount of money being dumped into the market, by the Feds, to stabilize it. It's not a true harbinger of the anything if it's being manipulated, which it is most of the time.

Over time, earnings always matter.

It’s all of the above. When certain stocks go up/down, people will say all the different reasons to rationalize. Baymowe was wrong already plenty of times, so his opinion is just like yours, mine, and many others.

If it were so black and white, the stock market wouldn’t be a risk or an investment. Whether or not the feds are pumping, hopefully you took advantage of the situation and made some nice profits 👍
 
2020 is not over yet. I'm just going to stay away. Timing the market is for experts like you.

I'm probably the furthest thing from an expert. The Dow @ 18.5k seemed like an obvious opportunity. AAPL trending nicely toward 400 this week btw. I recommended buying big @ 290 to a handful of currently very happy friends who are already looking at 25-27%.

But ... the sky is always falling for someone. And to your point -- if the market turns -- I'll do it all over again.
