I think the market is propped up by low interest rates, the fed, and NAI No Alternative Investment. At some point (and I think sooner rather than later) we are going to see a crash because there just aren’t earnings to support the exorbitant prices. RCCL as an example is entirely a hope on future earnings. I’m not a gold guy, I’ll just wait for a better day to fish.

I continue to meter money into index funds for long range money, but in my mad money account I’m in a lot of cash and will wait for better opportunity.
