#stockmarketcrash

3. Not worried yet

Some investors like Jeremy Grantham have floated the idea that the COVID stimulus bill could over-inflate the stock market, and a few weeks ago there was a flurry of articles predicting a crash--but there are always articles predicting a crash, so I don't know what this hashtag specifically refers to.

We've been riding high for a long stretch, though. It's not out of the question we could see a correction.

There are also the virus variants to be aware of. They could conceivably cause serious problems globally.

EDIT:

I mean, if you're an investor, it's not a terrible thing to be a little bit worried about a dramatic correction. My financial advisor always reminds me: "One day you'll wake up and the market will be down 20%."

It's a matter of being well positioned, and keeping that possibility (or, really, eventuality) in mind.
