12. We've been waiting decades for a bubble

Been like 18 years now. Kept going up under Obama, under Trump, under Biden, and now under Trump again. At each stage there were people who sold for political reasons and missed out on record gains. If you sold under Trump's first term, your portfolio missed out on fantastic gains. If you sold because things looked dire during Covid, you missed out on incredible gains. If you sold when Trump took back over you missed out on very broad and significant gains.

Some people have been predicting a crash for decades now, there are more signs that we are about to see incredible growth than a significant pull back, and that's even if an AI bubble falters.
