I do hear a lot more interest lately from my coworkers than anytime in the past 2 years. All they notice is stocks going parabolic and s&p hitting all time highs and equate that with economy recovering. People in California are shielded from how tough things still are across others parts.

Actually, there are many of us (subscribers to my newsletter for example) that are long and doing very, very well, but for the most part, you may be right I think you're absolutely right... there are no more individual investors, they all put their money into a bank where they now collect zero interest... the whole thing is a crime and a scam... It blows me away how little cheering there is. I heard this weekend Bob Brinker never mentioned the stock market on his show and took many calls about fixed income. He was one of the clowns calling it a secular bear market yet he was fully invested BUT with an "income portfolio" that was not in stocks and not counted in his ratings that he could talk about on the radio when the market was down. You'd think he'd be crowing on and on about how much money he's made in the markets but ti sounds like all his callers shifted to his "income portfolio" and have not participated. I wonder if he did the same.... It is simply amazing how little cheering we hear as the markets are at record highs. Just put your money into this total market fund and reinvest dividends.... or get a bit more active and do even better I'll start to get really worried when people are cheering the stock market again.
