Met up three years ago and they thought he was a dork, now they fucking love him :(. I spent a week drunk to excape the bullshit :(

DJIA PE ratio at 25 so markets appear overvalued to me at current levels so I'd expect continued volatility until interest rate increases are settled. 1Q GDP could go up to 5% if jobs lost to hurricanes in 3Q17 come back as expected. Consumer confidence remains high for now. Trump tax cuts will fuel more growth but what happens to record debt when interest rates go up? Debt level remains my #1 concern and Trump is completely un-serious about dealing with it. So I see the economic picture as a mixed bag, just hoping for the best.:bigjoint:
the market is the same now as when the tax scam was passed. But at least we have trillions in new debt

pulled all of my 401k yesterday.....
I haven't lost anything because I haven't sold anything. This isn't the end of times. In five years it's just a blip. I'm not minimizing the effect it has on people who lose their jobs (and that could be me) or those who are just entering the work force but my 401k stays put until I need it. Agree that this is a disaster for people who rely on 401k for a portion of their living expenses. Just questioning selling all. A portion, sure.

It will take years and years to re-coop the recent losses and I don't have that many years left. I rode it out in 2008 but this time I'm out. My retirement plan is now my farm....

In that case, you made the right choice. Next week can be worse to sell off a 401k than this one was. I would have taken a less drastic position but everybody must act according to their own tolerance of risk.

Your farm seems to be doing great. Your product is what makes it so.
