Lets get serious,when rates hit 3%,where will you put your money? The equities are the only place. No, definitely not. I think I prefer my mattress. But seriously, I don't understand your rate argument. When you are in a bear market, + 3 % is much better than a steady decline. Again, just have a look at Japan. I certainly don't expect a Japan-like bear, but to rush into a falling market seems suicidal to me. Phil

Lets get serious,when rates hit 3%,where will you put your money? The equities are the only place. beach, at one time during the last depression U.S. treasuries were selling at negative yields! When yields hit 3% or lower (and I think that likely), our worry will be about whether the government might default, not whether we'd be better off throwing on money away on equities for which there is no market. IMO, you need to adjust your thinking to era of the bear and leave such bull thoughts behind. Unfortunately, much more pain to come.
