14. I don't know either but I've tried to warn the forum about rooting for a downturn

Losing proposition, more often than not. We've had dozens of threads here since February expressing glee when the stock market is down for the day. No doubt there will be more of them, perhaps as soon as tomorrow.

Outside the occasional correction, the market trend is upward. Logically so. So when we're not in the midst of a correction with obvious factors taking us down, I'm going to anticipate a slow steady rise, with mostly irrelevant spikes and drops along the way.
