Based on inflation adjusted 10 year averages, stocks are still over-priced!
See link below...
I am betting on SP500 (SPX) to hit 2000 within a year.

It's just by eye-balling S&P 500 on a non-log chart, so not percentage-wise. However, even guessing at the percentages, it seems Oct and Dec 2018 are the worst in percentage terms since 2007. But I can't find a good monthly percentage drop table or a good monthly log chart that included Dec 2018 S&P 500.

F**K him, F**k the republicans, and F**K the Jill Stein's and Susan Sarandon's who have to be the dumbest, most stupid asses around to even suggest that a racist, sexist, bigot was better than the Democratic nominee.

It's back up a little. Will it continue to rise or drop steeply as the close approaches? I'm not good enough at this to predict.
