Really? Did you cash out your 401K? No? Then how the hell did you make money? Do you remember the last time when the stock market added 3 trillion in 6 month? It lost 9 trillion in the following 6 month. When was the last time, in your opinion, when the acute exuberance of the stock market manipulators, giddily salivating for a few month at the prospect of becoming even richer purely by giving less back to a society that enabled them to be rich in the first, actually portended a sustained expansion of the economy that might benefit little prayer besotted worms like you?

I've been through no less than three or four of those cycles. It ain't made money until you withdraw it. Remember 2008? 2000? Looking at history, by any objective measure the market is very overvalued.
