But it cannot last, unless the market throws any kind of valuations and long term profit calculations out the window.

Measured by earnings as reported, P/E of S&P 500 is over 60 already...

3% div yield is only good compared to 1% savings interest. But in its own self 3% is pitiful, as it includes the equity risk; risk of losing the principal totally.

Much better opportunities in small business, where returns can be anything from 10% to 30% to even 300% per year. Stocks at current valuations look good only to salaried people who never knew another way to make money, or people so rich they've stopped caring.

Stocks are reasonably valued right now considering expected earnings. However those earnings most probably will not stick with us till Q1-Q2 2009, at which time your past purchase now will seem much overvalued.

Buffett doesn't care, he's willed his moneys away at his death, doesn't stand to lose anything.

The real bottom is somewhere way below the 2002 bottoms, that time only dotcoms were affected, now the whole economy is hurting, from banks to consumers and everything between.

However the yield is great (even factoring in possible slowdown in the next 9 months) and I doubt we're going to ever drop much below last friday's lows, so those few lucky ones who had the cojones to buy then might consider holding for life.

If things go really bad gold will have no use because gold coins are easily counterfeited, the trust issue will prohibit gold use. You can't eat it, it won't keep you warm on cold nights, it won't guard your safety, but every moron in the world will want to rob you of it without regard to your life.

Gold coins can be a reasonable investment if you derive value of your collection and have the means to display and examine them properly, bringing you pirate lord's joy. Just don't ever expect to make an actual profit from them because most probably you were the greatest fool.

If you want your gold at spot price buy from a spot price dealer on the net, or buy those depressed price futures and take physical delivery, or buy GLD shares and convert into physical (might be out of your buying power).

Don't get mad get smart.
