Killer, >>I think this is where some who follow the market very closely don?t get it.The average investor is still in there for the long haul and will continue to allocate a percentage of their income to the market..Right?

First of all, I certainly do not claim that I can see in the future or do I believe anyone else can. I agree that people will invest their money somewhere, but this does not mean they will invest in overpriced stock certificates over the long haul. Capital will gravitate to where there is a perceived "best return" on that investment. If in fact we are going to have some inflationary times ahead...time will tell...there will be a ton of stock certificates that will not be perceived as a good return on investments.

Heck during the last inflation period in this country, oil stocks, gold, real-estate and the long bond were great investments. Real-estate may not be as good now because of the tax law changes, but those double digit yielding long bonds we bought were great for a long time. The techs got pounded..remember the nifty fifty.
