"On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average achieved something it hadn't managed in nearly 14 years: It closed at a record after adjusting for inflation."

There are definitely some bubbalicious signs going on. I don't think we're yet at the top, but I'm pretty sure we're at some point in a bubble phase. Once again, both technology stocks and housing are playing a part this time.

I don't see any major problem yet. Maybe increasing oil prices will cause the correction, but other than that, I can't find anything too threatening to the economy.

In other news, lol at the Gold bulls who keep whining about hyperinflation. Gold down 30% this year. Talk about a speculative bubble...

I wouldn't really say we're in bubble territory yet. People are so damn gloomy. I'll start freaking out when my barber starts offering stock tips.

What's even better is that gold miner's are down over 50%, they're carrying a crap ton of debt and have been issuing more stock (dilutive) to keep solvent.  The irony is hilarious.

Gotta admit I looked at my 401k and IRAs the other day and felt pretty good.
