[QUOTE="1995COBRA-R, post: 3873999, member: 9515"] Robert, IMO, the American stock market has always had world and domestic affairs which weigh on it. You receive a better yield from stocks over bonds due to the risks which you explain. The stock market has provided a 10-12% yield for as far back as you can calculate the yield. I believe that yield will go on for many more years. I am sure the young investor who invests today at DOW 10K will see Dow 100K. There are many factors that weigh on global equities and investment. I hear many people tell me that I should invest in China. I ask them if they are aware that Chinese companies are majority owned by their government. Therefore, all matters decided by the board are matters that their government will make. I'll let them trust the communist Chinese to provide fiscal responsibility to their ownership because I wouldn't in a billion years. Many people criticize the American accounting standards. They are not perfect. I always break down the GAAP earnings to "realistic" earnings. If you want to find really bad accounting, just go pick apart a European, Asian, or emerging market accounting statement. Good luck. You mention the "world economy". You can easily get world earnings exposure right here. You would be very surprised how much GE, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Cisco, Bud, Merck, etc. make outside these borders. I see if differently. I see the multiple expansion that got ahead of itself (some due to low interest rates). I also see this as a short term trend. An investor should certainly spread their investments (diversify). You should still stay with your level of competence. If you are good at investing in real estate, you should still invest most of your money there. If you are good at running a business, invest in it. If you want to invest in the stock market, you better know what you are doing (I never buy a company's stock without spending hours pouring over their financials). This is still the greatest Country in the world. Our standard of living is ahead of the rest of the world. Our innovation and business savvy cannot be matched. I'd like to see another government make one of these: [ATTACH=full]1332182[/ATTACH] :D [/QUOTE]
