I knew that we were in for a pullback eventually with the way the market was going and other factors (the bond market, interest rates, etc.).
But it was exciting to see my 401K/IRA earn more than I was at my job.
Come the end of the market this last Friday it was all gone and back to where it was at the start of January.
That's ok - I am in it for the long run and I started up my contributions again at the beginning of the year (I had maxed out for 2017 last October) so I would rather be putting money into the market when it is down than when it is up.
The normal volatility is back instead of the steady climb that made me nervous we would have a correction or maybe even a crash. I am sure the day traders are happy too - they don't make much money buying/selling when the market is steady.
How do you view the market this last year up to now?
What do you think is going to happen over the next year or two?
