The markets are efficient over time.
If you're saving for the long run, it's actually a good thing when the market is down because the more shares you have, the more you can potentially make when markets rise. And over time - decades, not months - the markets rise more than they fall.
As a bull market continues, almost anything you buy goes up. It makes you feel that investing in stocks is a very easy and safe and that you're a financial genius.
I think you have to learn that there's a company behind every stock, and that there's only one real reason why stocks go up. Companies go from doing poorly to doing well or small companies grow to large companies.
If you're the CEO of a publicly traded company, you're worried about quarterly returns.

I don't know where the stock market is going, but I will say this, that if it continues higher, this will do more to stimulate the economy than anything we've been talking about today or anything anybody else was talking about.
When you start losing market share, it's really tough to gain it back; you need the product portfolio and presence in many markets.
Whenever I see a stock market explode, six to 12 months later you are in a full blown recovery.
I've been investing in the stock market for 27 years and, within that time, have helped investors beat the market nearly four to one.
