But Ronda is his favorite cash cow . All those future headline events would be down the drain , if she ' s just throws in the towel <| sep |> Just remember , assumptions are the mother of all fluffups ! By your description , it seems as though you are assuming that there will be a crash . I suggest you read this posted by uthejourney 2016 There are at least half a dozen posts on rinvesting every day that are the same theme . It is always someone finding a reason to justify why the market just ' has to ' crash now . Any index hits an all time high ? Must be time for a crash ! Some macrolevel international political event occurs ie , Brexit ? Must be time for a crash ! Some macrolevel domestic political event occurs ie , Donald Trump ? Must be time for a crash ! Any meeting related to the Federal Reserve and interest rates in the next 30 days ? Must be time for a crash ! Any commodity at a high level or low level gold , oil , whatever ? Must be time for a crash ! Stop it . You are all so bad at this because retail investors in general are bad at it . It is the same posts year , after year , after year . Here is the thing the market is cyclical , but it is not predictable . Try hard as you might to call the next crash , you will all be wrong 99 % of the time . One of you will be right eventually , but no one knows who that will be or when that will be . Because no one knows when the next crash will be . Even when it occurs , there is no guarantee it will be a 2008 style crash with 50 % drops in stocks . While those kind of crashes do occur , historically cyclical pull backs result in much more modest losses . I hope no one is taking actual investment advice from the people here trying to call a crash . Because look back , they ' ve been making the same posts in 2012 , 2013 , 2014 , 2015 , and this year . They have all been wrong , and anyone listening to them has lost a lot of money . Good luck !
