I have not been able to make a case to myself for getting into equities, regardless of price. Increased earnings are in the main based on cost-cutting, not growth. A very substantial amount of industrial capacity remains unused. Unemployment is not retreating. Real estate is still in the dumpster. The states are hurting, and must raise taxes. The only positive (?) is liquidity. There is plenty of it, and it is chasing equities relentlessly. This is not a good thing as markets are getting into serial bubbles, with each bubble bursting at lower highs. Who wants to be caught up in that?
