I don't know either, but since you asked, I will put forth my worthless opinion.
I think the market might tank again before the end of the year and then regain its legs some, only to remain rather flat for quite a long time.
And another thing, right now we are still under the 15% tax rate for cap gains and dividends. But will Congress in its infinite wisdom punish investors by hiking those rates? If so, it seems to me that could be the kiss of death for sure. But what do I know?
For now, I am looking at dividend payers. Solid companies with reasonable dividends. I can get paid to wait.
