    People using crystal balls often get glass in their hands...ain't nothing certain, and I wouldn't call 3% rates at the Fed a huge tightening. Raise em 3% overnight and shock the system, might just be a healthy reality check after the painful hangover.
     
  7. Zirpy over as we're in a magical environment, lol.

     
  8. doesn't matter because there's money on the sidelines! so much money on the sidelines just waiting to push the dow to 100,000 :)

    we are truly living in a golden age
     
  9. Try to remember what it all felt like in February 2016.

    In hindsight, Feb 2016 was Oct 1998.
     
  10. I remember the crash of '87...I was an intern at a financial planning firm...my boss was throwing things at the wall and in tears...she was a mess. I called my broker (another firm) to sell half my mutual fund shares that day...it took a long time to actually talk to someone. I was called the following day and told my order never went through the day of the crash, but did execute a day late...at a better price though...crazy times!:wtf:
