bobcor, more likely is a negative return for another ten years or so

Despite Rarebird's post, I think that most of the rest of us are well aware of that distinct possibility and are trading with short-intermediate timeframes in mind. This board has always been primarily concerned with timing, so rather than becoming concerned with what large move lies ahead in the future at some unknown time, most seem to be concerned with what's happening for the next several weeks only.

But even trading in larger timeframes, it's all a matter of where one is looking for his returns, as there are many places beside the major indices to place one's money. If a decade ago one had been looking at this small cap fund for a ten year play, he would have been rewarded with an overall annualized return of about 20% per year:

How are you positioned right now? Most of the bears I know are not at the moment looking for longer term shorts and instead seem to favor going long on commodities and commodity related stocks. Here's one in that class that seems to have broken out of a multi-month range yesterday on heavy volume:
