Puzzled as to why the above quote did not format normally in Zeno's post.

I'll add my voice to the chorus. I'm not worried. If anything, I'm relieved. This perpetually ascending market was making me nervous. I have a balanced etf portfolio like yourself and my retirement horizon is about the same, but that's 8 years of accumulation. I'd rather have a few dips while I'm still accumulating. As many have mentioned, this is a minor dip as things go. I would expect bigger dips to come in the 8 years before you retire... and in the decades after that when you are retired.

As for myself, my allocation percentages are finally getting to the point where I'll be adding equities. Because equities have been going up relentless for the last 3-4 years, most new money has been going into my GIC ladder, which depresses me. Maybe when rebalancing time rolls around this year I can actually buy stocks for a change.

It's because there was a space between "Tks" and [/quote].

It's hard to see unless you are able to go and edit the post. I've re-posted it above correctly.

Interesting that it worked in my post when I just cut and pasted with no editing.

The space shouldn't matter. Looking at the history of zeno's posts, BBCode never worked for him. He probably disabled it in his user profile.
