There are many reasons, but one that should be fairly easy to understand is the failure of a smaller economy in Europe effects the banking system in many different ways and would most likely lead to the failure of some banks which would lead to the failure of more banks which continues to snowball until you have a meltdown. Think of the old weak link in a chain

Until someone tells me where to better invest - the market is still the best place, depending, of course, how long you want to ride it. Bottom line - diversify diversify!!

No . Nobody can time the markets there will be ups and downs that is why on average in the long term investors should be able to achieve higher returns investing in GICs or bank deposits. My advice is if you are conservative go 30 to 40% good quality dividend stocks and the balance in short term (<5years) bonds. Don't be trying to time the market. Buy right and sit back.

It's funny to hear people say no one can time the market and in the next breath say most timers can't beat an index. Since the premise that "most" can't implies that some can, so then timers "can" beat the market. The OP says no one can time the market and in the next breath lays out a timing scheme?????? Anyone who says you can't time the market, has retired to the "average" lounge. If everyone makes the average, no one in that group has improved their standing. |

Count me out!! The ONLY reason the stock market is doing well lately is the dollar is so devalued. Over 16 TRILLON IN DEBT and climbing does not have me confident.

My crystal ball says that the market will take a rest or have a correction and then resume with a summer rally. I would like to see 15,000 on the Dow by year end. The bottom line: Stocks are still a good buy.

So: "take a rest":...to me that means do nothing or stay put?????? " have a correction" to me that means the market could go up or down..which ever way the correction is needed???? So what am I to glean from this profound prediction..????? Hope this made you smile too??? |

Correction implies a rather sudden reversion to the mean, so it would be down from here.

There are 2 sides to every coin. That's what makes the market of buyers and sellers. Both of the below are very smart and have different reads on the market.
For the positive side to the coin, read James Paulsen at Wells Capital Mgt. Wells Capital Management For the negative side of the coin (very sober read), read John P. Hussman, Ph.D. Hussman Funds - Weekly Market Comment: The Siren's Song of the Unfinished Half-Cycle - February 18, 2013 Good luck to all. It is best to have a proper asset allocation for your risk tolerance rather than to "bet" on the short term direction of the market. Focus on asset classes, not just dividend paying stocks. |
