jimmybob made an accurate assessment when he stated 'where else are investors going to put their money for an ROI except for the stockmarkets.' he has been right on the money, literally. the S&P keeps climbing to record levels.
in theory,..i agree with your perspective. but the market is almost operating under a different set of rules,..at least it appears so,...like the Big Bang theory,...
the universe keeps expanding and expanding,... but quantum physics knows that at some point it will all collapse,...but science does not know when,..just that it will !
i see the markets the same way,...we see the markets over-extended, money still being printed diluting value, and a market that is operating under HFT along with other anomolies,...the market should be collapsing,..but its not.
the only answer to me is to play what we see as option traders,...be on the right side of the trade for profit and leave the philosophy on a hook to be picked up later after the market has closed and we had a fantastic greenbacked trading day.
what say you ?
invest at your own risk, based on your own due diligence, at your own risk tolerance
