<<use knowledge gained from history to develop a rationale assessment of anything in life.>> history teaches me that after a huge 16-24 year run ups in stock prices, when traditional valuations are cast aside and suckers spend their time proving why exactly traditional valuations are wrong and that there is a New Era, after all of this there is ALWAYS a terrible multy-year series of bear markets when the said suckers lose all or nearly all the money they have. I asked myself the following question: has there been a terrible multy-year bear market yet? My answer: no, not yet. Perhaps it's just starting. Being fond of asking myself questions, I ask another: is now a good time to buy stocks? And I answer myself: no, not now.
