Markets Getting Smacked Today - A Blip or More To Come?

Listen, markets are at insane levels right now, this one down day or not. As a lifelong bull, it's hard to reconcile an overvalued market, but by all historical comparisons, examples, and experiences - stocks, cryptos, and housing are all defying gravity.

Does this mean I'm going to bail on my 401k or long-term investments? Absolutely not; however, I do think hedging at these levels isn't just a good idea, but absolutely necessary considering upside to downside, imo.

Here is my research or compilation of factors playing into my negative view of overall markets.
