S&P 500 Hits New High

Well, the S&P 500 hit another all-time high today. Strong earnings from tech companies pushed the index up, and honestly, the market seems pretty optimistic heading into the new year.

I’ve been watching these milestones come and go for years now. What strikes me is how normal they’ve started to feel. Back in 2020, a new high was front-page news. Now it barely registers unless you’re actively tracking the markets.

That said, if you’re sitting on the sidelines waiting for a “better time to invest,” days like today are a reminder that markets spend more time going up than going down. Probably should have mentioned that earlier, honestly.
