The general consensus is that a recession or "soft landing" will occur in the Q2/Q3 timeframe of this year. The rise in markets was due to more confirmation of the upcoming recession (retail sales data) and the subsequent cut to interest rates. 1

This is something that is in your repertoire as you recently claimed you always provide a source - less than an hour after you didn’t provide a source for a cut and paste.

Expand No one can predict the market on a daily basis, but it historically has repeated itself around events such as recessions. It's unfortunate that you are unaware of this phenomenon.

Expand It's great that you're sharing your investing prowess with us, and I hope you're enjoying your retirement here in the PP dungeon, but if people were good at predicting bubbles, there wouldn't ever be any bubbles. Usually there's maybe a handful of guys who claim to have properly predicted them after the fact, while there's always a ton of them predicting one tomorrow, because they want you selling instead of buying. The whole idea of one person telling another about a bubble is counter-intuitive anyways. The last thing you'd EVER want to do as an investor is tell everyone else what's going to happen and why.
