Stock Market hysteria

[bjl584]

We're trading around 17 times earnings. Historically, the market trades around 15. Technically speaking we are only slightly overvalued.

We might see a slight correction coming. But, I wouldn't lose sleep over it. If your investing timeline is decades long, then none of today's headlines matter much.

The only hiccup is if/when earnings start dropping.

I'm enjoying the market for the past 3 months up $67K so far with 85/10/5 allocation. Of course the market could dive anytime. I have a long term view so i don't really care.

I love that the SPY up 12% in 2 years is "hysteria". The real hysteria is on this sub, with people asking "why is (fill in the blank) stock down!?!?!" and then it's down 1-2% and now there's hysteria about a potential crash when the SPY is up 12% over a couple of years. From late 2014 to early 2016 (around 18 months), the S&P 500 more or less traded in a range (with a couple of moderate corrections, including the one in early 2016), and now it's breaking higher.
Will there be a correction? Absolutely, but I'm sure once there is, there will be plenty of, "See! It's the crash! I knew it! I told you all the market was going to crash!" posts on here, and rather than taking it as even a potential opportunity, people will head for zee hills.
