I just see a lot of false hope. Right now emotions and hope is what I see causing the market to go up rather than facts and evidence.

This isn’t over yet.

Be careful looking for bottoms. On a truly historical scale, US markets are still not cheap. Today's P/E for the S&P looks cheap set against the last 20 years, but not particularly cheap for the bottom of a bear market over the past 100 years.

That said, I agree with you dividend investors are better off trying to dollar cost average in their money than miss some of the clearly decently high yielding shares out there.

Nurseb911: I have developed into quite a contrarian. I feel some sadness when the market goes up – I still want to buy more at these depressed levels.

Best Wishes,

These recent lows have spoiled me and although valuations are still cheap, I was kinda hoping they’d stay cheaper for a while .
I don’t think fear is out of the market yet and while we might not make new lows, we likely will dip again to re-test them. There’s still a lot to be shook out of this market and it won’t take much I think to send it downwards again. I’ve made some good buys so if its over I’m sad, but this past week is a reason why you stay invested in the market
