Wow. This is incredible. I remember not very far back posting "DOW 20,000?" "DOW 21,000?" - now it is DOW 23,000?
About to hit 23,000 now?
This is like the 50th record for the markets since Nov 2016. Lots, LOTS of Americans now have 401ks, or IRAs, or brokerage accounts. And they are becoming very suave regarding watching the sectors, rebalancing, buy and sell, et all. Literally, many are making more money in their investments than from salary. We now have an entire voting block that is not small - I would estimate 30% of registered voters now - who are "investors voting block". I predict soon, about 1 third of the US "of age" population will be full time investors and no need to go to regular jobs. And those Americans with jobs will find ample employment, and in addition this voting block is against robots taking over and for the "blue collar" worker et all which is now a very, very important "Trump" voting block.
I predict if ANY tax cut goes through - I support the current Trump model and not the Libertarian tax cut model, but it doesn't matter - ANY tax cut, and these markets are going to go up thousands of points more.
Today on the Varney morning show, two analysts predicted DOW 30,000 - one by NEXT YEAR, another by before the next presidential election. I do not believe the doomsayers. In fact, I am beginning to think that these markets will even beat out our massive debt. I would recommend anyone to get into these markets. Like everything else, don't just throw your money into it, today the way things work is you do NOT just drop money in "and forget". No, this isn't a "long term and forget" market venue anymore. Reason? Because so MANY are now in the markets. They rebalance their holdings, they are NOT afraid to sell when the price is high, they buy on the expected down dips. You have to be brave enough to buy AND SELL, collect your profits now and then, and to follow the trends and rebalance. It isn't hard to become rich. Sure, you have to learn the curve. But it's no harder than learning to use you home laptop or the latest version of Windows or Linux. And there is a lot of financial software - some installed, some on the web portals - to help you.
