People in SF Bay Area have plenty of cash and the job market, like you mentioned, is very good in Bay Area as well. Homes get listed and people are buying homes. I also know people working in high tech sales and they are telling me that sales are booming in the US and many other countries abroad.

I think you are right by saying that no one can really predict what the markets are going to do next.

I am sure the markets are going to crash one day, but one group's loss is another groups win. When the young guy took the wrong move and lost $5B in his hedge fund, the article that I read mentioned 5 other funds betting against the guy who won big. So I am sure money is not going to disappear, it is going to go from one group to another. When oil is hot, middle east and people working in the oil industry get rich and we the consumer lose. The opposite is true when price of oil goes down.

I think by all this hedging and derivatives, money just flows from one group to another.

I really do not have a lot of experience in any of these fields and I do appreciate all the smart and wise people who post on this thread. I am just wondering what to do with my investment funds at this moment.
