Investing in Equities is breed into Americans. I had a hard time turning away as proof of my post the last few weeks. They need to clean up the stock market and the only way to keep the Management from thinking it's their "piggy bank" is to put them in Jail when they lie, cheat and steal. BTW, this has not happen yet in Global Crossing, Enron, World Com and ect...ect. It's been 7 months and countless testimony to prove the lieing and cheating and yet no indictiments for the Enron bunch.

With TIPS you are going to rely on government inflation numbers. There is widespread belief that these numbers are manipulated by gov to control the amount the gov needs to pay out people for things such as social security where increases are based on inflation numbers. Inflation could be a lot higher than the gov reports. Washington is part of the problem. Corruption and raping of J6P in DC is as bad, if not worse, than on Wall Street. Real estate MAY be in a bubble but can you blame the folks who are buying now. Its the only investment that the general public can depend on where the gov does not intervene on pricing (minus interest rates) and where they do not have to pay cap gains if they live in place for 2 of 5 years.

iao - Don't forget there has been a bear market for over two years now but if the economic macors are to be beleived then there is a recovery in progress right now. As for how many years of misery, history supports a normal market recovery as the eocnomy recovers and so do earnings. Same companies again, maybe not but big growth companies thre will be as we are just at the beginning of the tech revolution, not the middle and certainly not the end. When the market returns to normality I bet you will buy stocks just as before and just as everyone else will and all wishing they had the foresight to buy in near the bottom. Best, L
