Wow - what a ride! I started investing in the 80's and caught much of the bull that started in '82, but I hit hard times 90-92 and had to liquidate. Started over in '93 and glad I stayed with it adding on dips when I could. 
Although I was all go go in the 90's, in early 2k's I adopted a more balanced approach so that even during down years the portfolio was throwing off 5-6% dividend yields. How that paid off in this last downturn!

Those previous highs create 'resistance' but sooner or later the economy - therefore the markets - push upward.

Not me. I would expect it to punch through to all time highs. Like it has done time and time again. Particularly with so many trillions of individuals and businesses sitting on the sidelines in cash earning next to nothing. Once confidence and business sanity is restored in our Country, those trillions will find their way to the markets. People want to make money and won't let cash sit at 0-1% forever.

But longer term, elections come and go, but the market moves on, and investors adapt. One man's bear market becomes another man's opportunity.

I can't ever remember an August with prolonged periods of weather like this. 80s during the day, upper 50s at night, low humidity, nice breeze. It was almost chilly in the pool today.

last year we were in the 90s during the day and mid 70s at night. Hope winter isn't too bad this year.
