I think they welcome the stability of having Trump out, as well as the positive outlook of the 2021 economy healing from the pandemic. My accounts are up 32% from a year ago.

The market will be fine. We had double digit returns for 2020, using January as the starting point.

Yep, time for the bottom to fall out...

Why made you say that?

[Klaus]

I must be one of the worst stock pickers. Most of the single stocks I selected have developed well below the market.

Luckily I mainly invest in broad ETFs.

Gold down 2.5%.

Why made you say that?

Business cycle, fundamentals and an old-fashioned gut feeling.

[Mik]

@jolly I think you are right in that it seems artificially high. On the other hand there is no question that a lot of companies made huge gains during the pandemic.

$2000 stimulus checks get pumped into the economy.

And you think your accounts went up over the last 12 months because of Biden...

BWAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

[Copper]

The numbers for Mr. Trump's term will look OK

Mr. Biden, if actually elected, will start with record highs. That could be a tough act to follow. I'm sure he is hoping the crash begins very soon.

Did you mean to put this in the cha-ching thread?

On business cycle and fundamentals, would you mind elaborating? Which aspects of the fundamentals suggest that it is "time for the bottom to fall out"?

And if you don't mind me asking, how is your gut feeling's track record?

[Loki]

Market is in record territory still while people freak out over DC. Something doesn’t make sense.

One negative year since 1980.

Why is the stock market up 450 if we are on the edge of anarchy? Anyone willing to take that on?

I'm definitely willing to take that on. In that I am willing to just give the money in exchange for the services. I'll live on that for the rest of my life.
