And at that, it's still significantly higher than it was on January 20, 2017.

The market is long overdue for a correction, if not an actual down turn.

People here have been gleefully posting about every small drop, without seeming to notice that the overall trend has been steadily up since shortly after Obama took office. And while I personally would love it if there were never a downturn at all, I know that inevitably there will be one. So my long-term financial plans are still safe.
