Just in time for the bear market?

Yes, that's the idea!

In theory this portfolio is intended to a market tracker plus a bit, able to survive through thick and thin. (ha!)
I don't have a current plan to use a timing system (mechanical or tea leaves) to go to cash when things head down. My mood may change.

FWIW, I just got another alert from Fidelity: "52 Week High Alert: SPY"

It's a fresh all time high, not just 52 weeks : )

Either way, the "99 day rule" will be bullish for a while yet. A pretty good omen, if you like omens.
