This is not a test of where you THINK the market will go, but where you WANT it to go.
IE: from a completely individual/family perspective, what would benefit you more?

I want a bubble market this I want a bubble market this summer before the mid-term elections.
Then the markets can reflect reality again until 2012 when stock prices bubble up again. 😉

My choice is not on the My choice is not on the list.
Call me old-fashioned, but I’d like the market to reflect the value of the companies traded on the exchange.
I’d expect these values to increase over time for good comapnies and I’d like to take advantage of it by owning the stocks of these companies.
I’d also like periodic payouts of profits in the form of dividends at a rate equal to 5-year cash/bond investments (e.g. 5-yr CD’s or 5-year treasuries).
Is that too much to ask ?

Well, then I think you should vote appropriately based on if you think things are fairly valued right now 🙂
Actually, I was more interested in getting a gauge of whether a bubble market would help more piggs at this current moment in time or not. I suspected the NOT category.

A bubble market might help me somewhat in the short run (Though, I have some hedges against a fall … cash, etc) but it’s not what I would desire, since bubbles by definition eventually pop.
So, I don’t want bubblicious (since it will eventually pop).
I don’t desire or won’t benefit from a crash
and I have already joined the circus, so the last category is out, too.
I’ll have to abstain, and I suspect that I am in the silent majority.

Roubini is predicted a growth Roubini is predicted a growth pull back because of a number of factors:
Heads you win, Tails I Heads you win, Tails I lose.
I don’t think any of the scenarios will benefit me more.
We have already had a crash and burn, we know who benefited from that.
We have also already seen who benefited from the bubble following the crash.
Either way I am sure that I am too small and too slow to benefit from anything the “market” does.
Who is in charge of this “market” you speak of? GS had a perfect quarter, they were right 63 days out of 63 days. MorganStanley lost money only 4 days in the last quarter.
