I posted this in /smg/ yesterday but this is basically my strat. Another anon made a good point about not just getting in or out of the market in a big jump but I'm goncerned i won't be able to switch my 401k over to bonds and sell my mutual funds in time so as to not take a big hit. I'll keep like 10% of my portfolio on some stocks i think will do ok in the coming months but I've pulled way back. It's not exciting but it helps me sleep at night.

I don't think it'll soften the blow, personally. They should be raising rates to slow down the party before the cops (reality) show up and shut everything down hard. If the market shits the bed at 5% interest rate, you have 5% worth of interest rate to stimulate the economy. If the market shits the bed at 2.5% interest rate, you're fucked.
We still had booms and crashes at higher interest rates in the past. The economy needs the tough love now or we're not going to make it

I'm getting out guys. I don't know if this is the right thread but i didn't see a /recession/ general.
>DJIA peaks at over 27,300
>Longest period of economic growth in american history
>Just over 10 years since the last recession
>unemployment low as fuck
None of this is suspicious at all
>FED still hasn't raised interest rates to a safe level (>5%? I guess?) and is actually talking about cutting rates again in order to CAUSE inflation
>Silver and gold up a not-insubstantial amount
>Bond inversion
My shitty MS paint explains it but the way I see it I've got what, a 5% upside before the next one? On my 50k in investments thats only 2.5k or so if i keep investing conservatively like I have been. S&P dropped 55% last recession. Does it make sense to get out soon or what? Are you guys seeing this or am I crazy?
