Dow up 300+ today

That's great news because the article below scares the heck out of me.  I did a deep dive into our financials last night and came to realize that I'm stuck --- withdrawing from 401k (penalty+tax) to pay off our 4 mortgages would be equivalent to remaining put and paying them off through the life of the loans (e.g. the 401k penalty and tax would equate to the interest that I'm paying off through the standard amortization of my mortgages).

A top JPMorgan Chase executive is warning that stocks could fall as much as 40% in the next few years.
Daniel Pinto, JPMorgan's co-president, said during an interview on Bloomberg Television Thursday that he believes market gains should continue for the next year or two. But he added that investors are nervous, and that the recent announcement about tariffs and trade wars contribute to their unease.

"Markets are going to be nervous, nervous about anything. Nervous about anything that relates to inflation, nervous about anything that relates to growth," he said. "These tariffs, if they go a lot beyond what has been announced, it is something that will concern the markets about future growth."

"We know there will be correction at some point," he said.
