Scary anecdote:

My wife who knows nothing about the market and has even less interest or comment saw her 401-K account today -- much smaller than her peers. I have had it invested in fixed income as a safe and tax efficient fixed income element in our overall financial strategy. Taxable funds are in stocks, taking advantage of the 20% break. Her peers had lots more money and have been in stocks (but don't have personal portfolios).

Anyway, my wife says are you sure we shouldn't switch to stocks. I say that we are 15 years too late for that strategy. She reminds me that I have been saying that for a while and that stocks have done great in just the last 2 or 3 years since we last talked.

---------------------

Is there anyone who thinks some of the bargains out there that have all but been ignored can appreciate in the face of such overvaluation in the large stocks? If no one can construct a case for it happening, we should probably sell everything and go on vacation.
