I don't think there really is a safe place to invest other than bonds or cash at the this time. If you were to be a perfect "market timer" (which IMO is impossible to do!)...then I would have to agree with you. This is "nervous" market...that seems to be lacking direction, frustrated with our "elections", with an FOMC that seems to be out of touch with the realities of today's market. However, if you are a long term investor who is not using margin to purchase stocks, who plans on holding a specific company for several years...then I would disagree. IMO there are many companies right now at "bargain" prices. I'd just like to buy some good stocks and walk away for awhile. The above was from an earlier post you made today. That is the exact "strategy" that I'm following. I didn't turn on my computer (or the T.V.) until after the market closed today. Both following the stock market, and the various "dueling" press conferences for our "elections" is too frustrating right now! Libbyt
