The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason published in 1926 remains a classic slice of literature and read by millions. His message may be interpreted differently by readers, but the theme of his writing sends a powerful message of self perseverance. Clason illustrated the value of saving and money management using characters set in ancient Babylon whereby financial and life’s lessons were learned.

I do think the ghosts of stock market corrections past are haunting us. Those who forget the lessons that history teaches us are predestined to repeat them. As an apprentice of U.S. stock market history, I’ve seen this maxim made true, time and time again. I believe I have seen the ghosts of the 1929, 1987, 2000 and 2008 U.S. Stock market crashes because they have materialized in 2013 and are appearing in front of everyone.

It's holiday time again, time to carve the turkey and sit down to a meal with the family to give thanks and the start of the Christmas shopping season. While everyone is taking some time off the week of Thanksgiving and Christmas, it is a great opportunity for financial advisors to turn to financial public relations to garner some financial media articles and to get on CNBC, Bloomberg and Fox Business TV.

A financial market, even a rigged one, has a lifespan. When that rigging fails, the system collapses and the fundamentals return. That will be a good day because financial markets should only run by fundamentals, not by rigging the system. Yet right now, few American investors have a memory as they push the Dow and S&P 500 to new highs.

The latest American Association of Individual Investors survey showed the lowest amount of pessimism about the U.S. financial markets in the past 21 months, while optimism in the survey is the highest it’s been in the past 10 months. This is a red flag because historically it’s typically a sign that investors are becoming too complacent. Call me a contrarian if you like, but when “Joe (or Jane) Donut” is excited about the economy, watch out for falling equities. It feels like even the shoeshine boys are chomping at the bit to open brokerage accounts. Should we take a page of the Joe Kennedy playbook of 1929?

How many all-time-high(s) can we have on a fundamental deficient market before the bottom falls out?
