Quite the bummer that $4 gasoline will cause the Fed to raise my borrowing costs. I think it’s a double whammy on the country

If 5 years is your time horizon, I do not think you need to worry about a peak since there is still much money and interest for our stock market and long term is still good. Even though the economy is slowing, it doesn’t mean it is stopping or even going negative anytime soon.

The advantage of a long term strategy is to go with historical statistics (10% per year avg) so you can ride out the bear and bull markets, so keep investing if 5+ years is your target.

I am not sure if its investors who have short memories. The institutions continue to have a lot of cheap money at its dispoal chasing very few fundamental good stock. The money has to be used somewhere.

If you are a market-timer, its going to be a bumpy ride but if your horizon is 5 years plus isn’t this just another peak in a series of peaks and valleys?

Not all sectors mirror the market. US HomeBuilders and Financial stocks look cheap. Both are trading near their historical lows.

JNJ was at a rock bottom price ($60) just several weeks back.

I just ignore the market and pay attention to individual stocks. The best time to buy O&G stocks was back when NASDAQ was at its all time high… i.e. when investors were dumping O&G stocks in favour for high tech concept stocks.
