This bull market is fucking nuts right now and it's making me nervous. What kind of proactive steps do you guys take to reduce your exposure before the inevitable correction comes?

    I've been asking this question for the last month.

    Nobody has said they'd exit equities entirely. I'm really wondering if I should.

    That’s a bold move Cotton.

    Letting it ride. I figure each bull/bear cycle is 7-10 years so I have 3-4 cycles left before my kids inherit it.

    Why buy when you can just roll the tanks in?

    I have a friend who stopped talking about, and actually pulled the trigger, on buying a house in Italy. It was a nightmare of red tape, and he needed to engage Italian counsel, but in the end, it was super cheap. The reason it was cheap is that an American is never going to make a living there. You go to spend your money and live in your own place. There's no work, so real estate, a lot of it anyway, is cheap cheap cheap.

    If I were to pull the trigger on an apartment in one of the great cities, it would have to be Rome, which is also somewhat affordable. Certainly relative to Paris anyway.

    I'd get a flat in Vienna. Lots of Italian towns are offering cheap places but even when you fix them up they're still in the middle of nowhere Italy. Great if you like Italy, but hard to get anywhere. I like Rome, but not enough to buy there

    We're looking for rural acreage (hectarage) with access to Paris for day trips. Found an inexpensive quasi-chateau fixer but would probably have to put in $200K to make it livable. Not a business opportunity, just a vacation home to use as a jumpoff poont for exploring the rest of the continent

    I bought thousands of rounds, about ten years ago. At current market prices I’ve quadrupled my money on the 9mm and .40. I’ve quintupled it for the .22LR.

    How soon are you retiring? If not any time soon ride it with stops placed if you are 5 years out, sell half and ride it with stops placed if 1 year out sell sell sell...

    If the market didnt tank during this shitshow of a past 9 months it's not going to tank anytime soon as the economy recovers, SMBs get more stable footing, and unemployment continues to drop

    Only danger is the Biden admin doing something fucking stupid

    It's a layered exit strategy based on your risk tolerance relative to when you NEED your nest egg.

    In short, if you need your nest egg very soon, gtfo now. Forego any potential upside from this moment fwd.

    If you don't need it for a while, make sure to have stop-losses in place whilst trying to capture more of the inflationary runup.

    The Throbber made the poont regarding Lord's of Finance that the fallout had global repercussions lasting literally multiple decades.

    With that in mind relative to the advice proffered by @Goduckies, 7 yrs = 5yr exit strategy.
