Investor Sentiment and Market Returns: Now's the Time to Be Bold

If you listen to knowledgeable economists (not talking head pundants) the fundimental problems we face are unusually challenging. These problems banking, energy, national debt are severe enough to require Goverment actions not seen since the great depression (the markets are no longer self correcting). Looking forward the retiring baby boom generation and exit of wealth to the middle east will put added stess on our monitary system and stock markets. The past eight years of inflation and record deficits have left us I'll prepared to defend this economy. The middle class the economic back bone of the country has been nuetered by the loss of spending power through lost real wages, soaring living costs and record personal debt. It gives me no confidence that this admiistration has a list of failures that have occured on their watch. I'll stay liquid and invest defensively. I'd rather miss 10% upside than incure the possible downside.
