Hi Malcolm - "Preferably outside the U.S. " You are almost making the case for the China and Japan markets. China - saving like crazy, growing fast, but market has some popularity. P/Es all over the place, but some low. Some dividend payers. Japan - market still unpopluar, modest savings, low P/Es. Both have balance of payments going the other way. Both face danger of rising currency...

>>AC(Why not DC?) Flyer<< Now, now, let's not get personal. >>Did you ever see a real bull market that lasted much more than one decade?<< Yes. The Great US Bull Market of 1982-2009. Twenty seven years. Not too shabby. >>I saw one in Japan, starting in 1965. P/E's were mostly single digit. Yields were higher than inflation.<< Sounds exactly like the US in 1982. I know you're old enough to remember this. Maybe not buying stocks back then, though. >>Can one make some money these days in the stock market? I think one can, but preferably outside the U.S. In the U.S. the stocks look most vulnerable<< Don't you think that you're painting with a brush that's just a little too broad?
