S&P inching towards new high

[meatpile]

1528 would be a new high, first since fuckering March 2000. I'm so happy I could forget about my throbbing roids for a minute.

Anybody recall what event sparked the decline of equities that month?

Janet Reno vs. Microsoft.

broke through briefly today but closed just under. nasdaq is still 1500 or so points away from the all-time high there, but it was ridiculously over-priced back then. i had several of my funds DOUBLE in one calendar year. i got crushed on the downside, but stayed the course and have done quite well by continuing to invest on the rebound.

Nasdaq is more like 2500 points away.

STILL AIN'T THERE.

Don't sweat it. You don't want to be buying 'high'. All you guys should be wishing it was as low as possible at your age.

Dollar cost average. The way to go.
