The thing to consider is this - there are Hundreds of millions of dollars every month that is NEW money that needs a home, every month . . . . . 401k type monies. That is the single most influence that drives the stock market. Where would the market be today, if it wasn't for all that new money ?
Exactly!
The stock market will continue to flourish as long as they keep creating money out of air.
Yes there will be ups and downs in the market but those new $'s need a home and most of them are going into the stock market. Farmers buy dirt when they have excess money, most everyone else buys the stock market. You have to get a return on your savings just to keep what you have. If you stay at a flat amount of $'s you're going backwards rapidly.
One thing that could derail the stock market is the demographics. As the baby boomer generation gets older, quits investing and starts withdrawing their investments from the market it could put a pretty heavy burden on the market.
How much of the run-up in the stock market....
