The $SPX just crossed 7,800 for the first time. That's the 9th time this year we've hit a new 100-point milestone.
A year ago? 6,400.
Five years ago? 4,400.
Ten years ago? 2,200.
People love to say "the market is overvalued" or "this can't continue." Maybe. But here's what actually happened: if you stayed invested through every correction, every Fed tantrum, every tariff war, every banking scare, and every "this time is different" moment... you more than tripled your money in a decade.
The lesson isn't that stocks only go up. It's that patience and consistency beat timing and panic. Most people who tried to get cute with entries and exits got left behind.
Don't fight the long-term trend. Don't overthink it. Just stay in the game.
