Up another ~200 points today, as of 1425 EST... Keep pumping, baby!!
Might be up 1000 points in 7-9 days (25K to 26K)??
...
What's the record for a 1k point climb?
Edit: 23 days. The climb from 24K to 25K... Looks like it will smash that record

Damn. Most MF's are paying some epic dividends too. Making more on dividends per month than what I'm contributing to the Roth 401(k) 
. I'm still considering throwing it all into MM or at least Bonds in hope the market will crash and I'll dump it all back in. But timing the market FTL. Tried to do that once and lost. Considered doing it a year ago and I'm glad I didn't.

I've always been long on equity holdings and have never tried to "time" the market, but I did think about early this year when the market shot from 18.5K to 22K... I'm glad I didn't think too much about it

Dow futures point to a more than 1,200-point fall at the open
Published 7 Hours Ago Updated 38 Mins Ago
Stocks looked set for another rocky opening and a volatile trading day Tuesday.
Stock futures slid into negative territory in Monday evening trade: Dow futures were down 826 points, and S&P 500 futures were lower by 76.5 points as of 11:25 p.m. ET.
The implied open for the Dow, based on futures, was a decline of 1,203.75.
Futures are volatile and late night prices may look far different from stocks at the opening bell.
The S&P 500 was down 113 points, or 4.1 percent Monday in its worst day since August, 2011. The futures, which typically match the spot market's decline, fell even more in the earlier session, off by 5.3 percent.
The cash S&P 500, which closed at 2,648, touched 2,638 in afternoon trading, and that is the level traders are watching to see if it can act as support or signal more selling.

Unless you pulled your money out yesterday before the close, just sit back and ride the wave.
Most of you are so far from retirement you shouldn't even be watching the market.
For those trying to make a quick buck, that's part of the game.

Dow's nearly 1,600-point plunge marks its biggest one-day point drop ever
Dow's nearly 1,600-point plunge marks its biggest one-day point drop ever
The Dow Jones industrial average marked its biggest single-day point drop on Monday afternoon, plunging nearly 1,600 points during trading hours before recovering to close down 1,175.
Officially the Dow fell 1,597, a 6.26 percent drop. But the index of 30 large U.S. companies was recovering some of that decline as the day headed toward the closing bell at 4 p.m. in New York.
The previous record drop during trading hours was 1,089 points on Aug. 24, 2015, a 6.6 percent drop. But in percentage terms, the worst sell-off in recent years was the "flash crash" of May 6, 2010, when the Dow temporarily plunged 998 points, or more than 9 percent. Trading would recover both days, but the Dow would still close down more than 3 percent on each of them.
These more recent events challenge the sharp market downdrafts seen during the worst days of the late-2008 financial crisis. On Oct. 6 that year, the market fell 800 points during trading hours, or 7.7 percent, before recovering to close down 3.5 percent.
The worst point drop for a single day was the 777 decline on Sept. 29, 2008, when Congress first failed to approve the government's bank bailout plan. It would later go on to pass that plan.
