It is starting to remind me of the late 1990s when I was taking big profits in tech and pretty much not a big fan of US index funds "because they have too much Cisco" and other companies like GE that were over valued on PEG relative to SPY by over 2x.... I used the profits to buy GNMA bond funds, Strip zero long treasuries and value stocks which worked out well to hedge SOME of my portfolio decline that was still in tech. My Explore Portfolio actually had a positive 2001! My personal portfolio took a loss in 2001 because I still had a lot of HP stock to unload into strength with AMT tax limitations after "that Fiorina woman" took the helm and kicked out the heirs who didn't like her plan for world domination (that eventually failed, she was booted and the company shattered into many, many pieces.)

Small investors remain wary of "fake news" mixed with centuries of experience with how hard it is for the little guy to do well hence the popularity of ETFs now for those who are in the market.

Cramer NOW sez to put your first $10K into index funds before paying him for a club membership to see his list of stocks that could beat the market if he didn't have so many conditions to deal with such as announcing trades ahead of time and not doing illegal market manipulation.

I haven't heard a peep from Cramer about buying international index funds or stocks now yet they are soaring after years of my taking profits in US stocks and REITS to increase my international positions....

Will international stocks and/or Russell 2000 stocks be the value stocks of the early 2000s?
