And from 99-2013 bear market???? That didn't feel like a bear market..if anything lets just say the bull market started in 1999 with the dot com bubble and the only reason why the market has been through these collapses since is because of the federal reserve ....they will also be blamed for the next collapse....how far and long this rally lasts is anyone's guess but we all know they always end in a collapse....this is no different than the last market rally and the 15 before that.....they always always always end in a collapse......
The Dow closed up 65 points Thursday, at 19,614, in its 19th gain in 23 sessions, and its 13th new high since Election Day. The S&P 500, Nasdaq, Russell 2000 and Dow transports also all set record closing highs. The S&P ended up 4 at 2,246. The S&P financial sector rose nearly 1 percent, leading Thursday's gain, to end at its highest level since December 2007. In the past month alone, the sector is up 30 percent.
Futures green Today will be the 20th green day out of 24 with the 14th new historical high on the Dow! Rinse and repeat!!!
Bull markets are persistent. On the other hand, a market that breaks out to all-time high's can and often will suddenly plunge when you least expect it...Then when it does you have to buy it again at some type of (trendline, moving average, support, etc...). I think the bigger issue is that everybody has become accustomed to the past few years of sideways chop and fakeout-breakout's that when the real one arrives, most are poorly positioned or not positioned at all...You can definitely see symptoms of that in a lot of these indicies/sectors.

And there you go.....biggest "risk" is not being in stocks....just like in 1999 and 2007 Biggest risk for individual investor is missing out on rally, expert says Michelle Fox | @MFoxCNBC 1 Hour AgoCNBC.com PLAY VIDEO It's not too late to buy into this record stock market rally, investment expert Katie Nixon told CNBC on Friday. In fact, she thinks "missing out" is the "biggest risk" for the individual investor right now. "We have the interest rate picture changing, but for the right reason. Growth is improving, inflation expectations are ticking up but just slightly, in a manageable way. Fundamentals are improving. So all the ducks are sort of in a row here for a continued rally," the chief investment officer of Northern Trust said in an interview with "Power Lunch." Stocks have been soaring since President-electDonald Trump's victory on Nov. 8., with investors pinning their hopes on promised tax cuts and deregulation. However, while there are now a lot of forward-looking assumptions built into the marketabout a Trump presidency and what it might mean for earnings, it's happening in an environment that's already improving, Nixon said. Her advice is to buy into the market now, instead of averaging in, because she has higher confidence in her short-term outlook than the longer-term one. "We've been talking about low return expectation. We might be in that kind of environment for the longer term, but we're going to have some front-end loaded equity returns right here in the next year or so," Nixon said. Erik Ristuben, chief investment strategist at Russell Investments, has a different strategy. He's not advocating buying in, instead he is trimming equity positions on the margin. "We're in kind of the buy the dips, sell the rallies kind of mode right now and this has been a rally so it's probably a good time to take some profits," he told "Power Lunch." He thinks the strong U.S. dollar will create some earnings headwinds, which the market will start to factor in. Instead, Ristuben likes the European and Japanese stock market, and is long the dollar.
