One Life: Let's Get Together and Feel Alright

Simply put, as a bull market matures, goofy things tend to happen. Headlines, earnings, and general news flow which seemingly ought to derail the bull actually empowers it. And strong, winning sectors like biotech and healthcare keep plowing ahead as many investors deem them too risky to buy "at these levels." Of course, I am not mocking the...
