Some facts:

- the risk of stock over the long haul (20 year holding period) was no higher than that of bonds over the last 120 years as researched by Siegal.

- stock prices are increasing faster than earnings/free cash flow/dividends, thus, decreasing the risk premium

Possible explanations:

- G&H - stocks are being revalued to reflect the real risk premium

- The Economist - a speculative bubble

- Greenspan - productivity gains

What do you think? I'm betting it's a combination of the above three with bits added by a hidden fourth and fifth cause. I'm mostly in cash waiting for a 5-15% market correction in Jan.
