Dow up 1,100 points, S&P at new ATH.

Turns out 401(k)s auto-investing in equities plus a president who openly pumps the markets via well-timed Truth Social posts is all you need to have a roaring bull market.

To quote Adam Smith, "market only goes up."

did Adam Smith say, "market only goes up."

No—Adam Smith never said “market only goes up.”

That phrase is a modern meme from internet investing culture, especially around stocks and crypto.

If anything, Smith would likely be skeptical of a statement like that—it ignores volatility, downturns, and economic cycles.

Well that and inflation. Inflation helps stocks and especially property.

”401(k)s auto-investing in equities"

That's like 90% of investing 101 though. Dump everything into s&p500 etf and forget about it.
