Fear is obviously a bigger driver for me than greed. Also I kept reading that the problem was debt and the GFC had been solved with more debt so this wasn't really a long term solution. Central banks have responded with unprecedented monetary policy as well. Anyway the debt cycle and economic cycle may not have been beaten, just delayed. My concern now is that confidence in cash gives way or inflation in everything else catches up to assets and money becomes worthless before a share market crash. No one worth listening to has ever said timing the market is a good idea but, it is my main idea for now.
