You can read such statistics at ANY time during a bull market. This is why the average investor does terribly. At the speculative top, you will read zillions of statistics as to why the market will continue to rise.
Here, with the market still 30% below all-time highs, you will still read articles telling you to sell, trying to scare you.
When the Dow hits 14000, you will start to see the internet filled with "why this time is different" articles, urging you to BUY BUY BUY.
Financial literature always tells you to buy high, sell low. The true investor sees through this nonsense.]]> Sun, 30 Aug 2009 12:41:55 -0400

Bravo to you, sir. The doomers/gloomers try to convince us that the market is filled with exhuberance and mindless investing, like early 2000. However, a quick look at newspapers, internet sites (like this one), will tell you that negative sentiment seems to outnumber positive by at least a 10-1 ratio (my informal research). I'm betting that, of course with some bumps along the way, this market will rise for the next two years.]]> Sun, 30 Aug 2009 12:37:14 -0400

I prefer DVY, whose 4% dividend is truly safe because it's an ETF, and the only way the dividend gets cut is due to a price rise!

Any dividend north of 5% (non-REIT, that is), I'd do some serious due diligence on!]]> Thu, 22 May 2008 13:24:59 -0400

I can't find a single "common person" who believes in it, or is investing any money at all (besides already-regular 401k contributions).
In fact, I hear the common person talking about gold and oil, a sure sign to be careful in those areas.]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 06:48:24 -0400 Like you say, it wouldn't surprise me if the recent market gains in fact accelerate.
