[quote=CA renter]This is a very scary time to try to navigate the investment world, IMHO. Even holding dollars is scary. :([/quote]

I totally agree with you CAR. Everyone trying to chase yield. The “poor” savers (no pun intended) are getting pummeled as interest rates are so low. So they too feel like they have to get into higher risk type investments.

I was just talking about this with someone the other day at lunch. The problem is that everyone says they are “long-term investors” but relatively few are and they look at the market the past few years and what a tear it’s been on and they feel like they are missing out.

Like some, I haven’t gotten in the stock market as heavy as I wish I did watching the way it’s gone on a tear.

It will be interesting to see how things turn out in the mid-term.
