Gee Rarebird, I thought with all of that high-falootin' education you possess, you'd be able to come up with a better response. Instead, you ignore the fundamentals like the boomers flooding retirement money into a financial system that just doesn't have too many attractive or safe places to invest it (and not because of overvaluation, either), and by your own admission, will be looking at FEWER places that provide ANY semblance of safety (gold? Doubtful unless a major conflict erupts... ;0). Bonds, rarebird.. T-bonds are where money will likely be made this fall.. just like they were last fall. The only problem with this fundamentally flawed logic is that it is beginning to happen right now in front of your very own eyes. What?? Is everyone going to suddenly retire early?? I may be an apologist in your eyes, rarebird, but that still doesn't excuse your lack of a respectable and logical answer to my comments. Folks were calling Japan a bubble LONG BEFORE it actually crashed. The bubble just got bigger in the mean time. Hopefully, US investors, who are more risk tolerant of emerging markets will see some compelling bargains after 2000 and that bubble in the US markets will take on a less hyperbolic ascendance through global diversification.
