Yes jack but that's just the problem

There are far too many people who have abandoned a balanced portfolio to go after the gold ring of tech stock run-ups. They have gotten used to these higher returns and will not be satisfied with a money market rate of return on their cash. In fact cash is considered bad. Debt is good. Consumption based on debt is good. The stock market is like the lotto---let's take a chance. Even with 401K's people have not bothered to rotate their portfolios. Its a potential disaster. Perhaps you and I only risk in the market what we can afford to lose because we understand the risks, but I doubt that is the way the average investor sees it. They have been told it is a "long term investment".

As you may have noticed, you cannot smoke in an American movie theater. Know why?
