Trump wants a weaker dollar for competitiveness (inflation). The system is designed to run on ever-expanding debt and money printing (inflation). BRICS countries are preparing to break free from the USD. When those dollars flood back home, watch out. Central Banks around the world are buying physical gold. Everything is coming to a head, that's why I find precious metals interesting.

It's recovered every time its dipped, every time its dropped, every time it's "bursted" 

It will always do what it's done until it doesn't.   

I'll gamble on that it will always do what it does. Therefore my cumulative investment total has doubled since it's inception.  

Drop. I don't care. Burst, I don't care.  Those are the times the newbies sell and I get discounts.

Unless you're done investing in the stock market, you should want an avalanche collapse at some point.

Depends on how you look at it.

Not necessarily true.  And that only works if you're DCA'ing in and not trying to time the market.  Even with a big downturn there are always more upturns you miss out on if youre waiting.  Always.    

I find the best thing to take advantage of big swings is reballncing.  Effectively increasing your number of shares in both ups and downs.

I don't know if it would be your definition of an avalanche, but when the Dow dropped to around 37K during the tariff tantrum last April, myself and others here gobbled up every Google share we could.

It was before my time, but I've studied the history of the averages. While there were companies that did well during the time (Walmart for example) the averages basically went nowhere from 1965 to 1980. 

Remember Joe Kernan from CNBC telling a story. He was an intern at a brokerage house in 1980. He said something like this. 

No one was buying stocks, no one was selling stocks, no one even wanted to talk about stocks. Compare that to today. I don't think we could ever have a period like that again because there's never been a better time to be an American multinational corporation.

If I have a concern, it's when/if the US dollar is no longer the world currency of choice & the treasury (taxpayers) gets the equivalent of a margin call.

 

If that was ever to happen, let's just say we'd be Randolph and Mortimer Duke

The silver market should be very interesting Monday. Not that I'm going to buy or sell (did all my buying in 2017) & never plan on selling.

I'll be watching because of this video.
