"Part of the trouble is that people have been lead into thinking that stocks are the best place for long term investment, without a real understanding of how long stocks can underperform. I think the stock market is likely to continue to be the first choice for many unless we get a multi-year bear." If the market stays in a trading range -- and if we are currently near the top of that trading range, after a couple of years of this it might sink in. For some people it is already sinking in -- but I agree, the majority are trained to think that putting money into savings is for gutless losers.
