I’m just saying that you’d be foolish to buy stocks when they are obviously overpriced, which should be pretty damn obvious by this point. Put up a steady stock investment every month.

Obviously, when a market rises more compared to poloniex broker review other markets 10 years in a row, we can extrapolate this returns forever because valuations doesn’t matter.
