biggest danger to accumulating wealth in the future is to get caught up in the "doom and gloom" talk of "market strategists"

perhaps you didn't know most market strategists are very bullish. check out abby j's latest entrail readings for a sample.

the public and "the street" more down-beat, than anytime since 1980

is that why PEs are at record highs and dividend yields at record lows? is that why the asset allocation recos of strategists are near record highs and mutual fund cash positions at record lows? is that why the number of households owning equities is at an all-time high, up significantly even from 1999? is that why, to quote briefing, "In the week ended Wednesday (Oct 2), equity mutual funds enjoyed inflows of $2.3 bln."?

and especially the "experts" that frequent boards like this

heaven forbid anybody actually hold an opinion that is not "savvy". even worse if they back it up with facts instead of hunches.
