S&P 500 at an all time high.
Dow Jones Industrials near an all time high
Good jobs report (110,000 new jobs created).
Interest rates low.
Now, where are the libs to tell us how bad the economy is.

What portfolio?

I cashed mine out to start a new business, now I get to start again. When I make money, which may be awhile...quite awhile.

From about 9/11 to about 2003 it looked like my retirement was passing out of sight over the horizon. Now it looks like I am STILL going to be able to retire at a reasonable age and amount of time. The dip (if that's all it was) put me back about a year is all.

But it did force me to diversify into international markets and small caps, which I hadn't done previously. I'm still about 30% into S&P mutual (down from 60%).

All of my 401K is in mutual funds and except about 10% fed bonds (guaranteed). My other investments are significantly riskier but right now make me look like a freaking genius.

Think this is a burp-bubble or are we back on a growth track?

Nothing wrong with some diversification, Mistress. I think the Pacific Rim is more likely to experience solid, long-term growth than South America is. SA has always seemed too volatile and risky to me. The Asian mindset is more long term and determined in my opinion.
