Will there be a correction,sell off, bear market?
Someday
Do I worry about it?
No

I've driven used cars and eaten canned ravioli before and I can do it again.My wife didn't have electricity in her little town in the Dominican Republic until she was 11 years old.We both make every nickel bleed.Because we like to.I don't mind spending money, I don't like wasting it.
But enough about moi.

Have a pleasant and prosperous evening.And a Happy New Year.

Happy New Year to you as well.....BTW, I liked the part about the "canned ravioli", made your story more authentic...

Chef Boyardee - out of the can, cold, with a plastic fork.
And a 2016 Doctor Pepper.

Carrefour is the Wal Mart of France,so I can't vouch for the quality yet.
If I don't post anymore, you can assume the worst.

EDIT: We have gone off thread as far as it is possible to go.From Trump to French canned ravioli.

Chef Boyardee????... No wonder your annual gloom and doom stock market predictions are ill-advised, as usual.

If you want some really great and inexpensive eats, nothing beats a good old can of sardines, especially those from Alaska and Scotland but they are all great, imo.

Very tasty, filling, nutritious and it's the quintessential brain food, if you catch my drift!

The only reason the stock market dives in Trump's first 100 days as many doom and gloomers suggest it will is if the extremely political Fed Chairwoman, Janet Yellen, raises rates again, and announces 2-3 additional rate hikes for 2017.

She, not Trump, will be the stumbling block, if this happens.

Rule number one of the stock market. NOBODY CAN PREDICT SHORT TERM MOVES.

The craziest thing might send the market soaring or tailspinning for a short time.

You should direct your post to R-Randall... he's the doom and gloomer, not me.

I am only offering the lone possible scenario of a market plunge in Trump's first months. I am not the one that said the Trump's stock market rally is close to being finished or near so.

I am a long term investor and am very, very optimistic in the immediate, mid-term and long term success in the stock market.
