So are you bullish on this market? Do you see these prices as inflated and susceptible to corrections or crashes?

I guess people are moving out of bonds and into the market.

it's all propped up by Ben B's super fast printers BUT we must not forget that the overall macro backdrop is improving month on month and there's more to be squeezed out of the markets this year IMVO

equities is something you'd want to be long on, especially cyclicals such as banks

many companies out there are trading way below net asset value

It's mostly thanks to our American friends that Europe hasn't vanished into the ground yet!

things are still bad here, very bad, but not catastrophically bad. but bad

The European Central Bank has lowered its rates to the lowest level EVER -
so since we got the euro, it has never been as worthless as today ...

That's right. It's time to flow some down to the workers. They've a right to be comfortable too.

Euro still needs to go down vis-a-vis the dollar.

Somehow I'm not bullish for this year, I think we'll see major correction the in the 2nd half.

+1 I have been talking to sales people that sell to aerospace and manufacturing and they say it is not good in So Cal. They say the people they are dealing with are expecting more large lay-offs.

That's what I did last year. I'm still pretty conservative, with most of my money in muni bonds, but the stock market's just been too good to pass up.

Puffy I spent some time with the calculator and portfolio today. A thought..most people are thinking in terms of losing money during the crash, and the market essentially growing back to where the losses have now been covered.

I am thinking of it another way. From the highpoint of the market prior to crash to today, the market has essentially given a 2% return over the last 5.5 years.

People always get caught up the volatility, but long term, it has simply been a fallow 5 year period (assuming of course one STAYED in the market, kept investing and didn't bail).

Good luck to all.

I haven't bought anything since 2010

Thinking of selling what I have and going for bonds. Safe but small return is better to me than taking a risk in this market.

I only own WFC from my wife's 27 years there and IBM....which I need to sell some off before options expire this year.

Wish I could dabble in the markets but I have no money to lose, because I have no money
