Re: Time to get out of STOCK MARKET

There is a place for posting this sort of drivel. It's called the Yahoo Finance message board.

This is not drivel.
This is a very, very serious time for those investors that are in the stock market.
Do you think EVERYBODY that invests in the stock market is a winner???
There are many that are not in the market for the very longterm........many!
In fact, have read many posters on this forum that are using the market as a place to "store" their BR for a short time to get the best returns. In my opinion, this is certainly not the time to be doing this, if ever.
For the next 1-12 months, a savings account returning 5-6% would seem a much better option to take.
The market at this time is EXTREMELY RISKY..........and of course this includes INDEX FUNDS.
If one is going to invest monthly or quarterly over the course of 5+ years, than the stock market is a great place to invest...........but for shortterm investors, this is not the time to be playing games.
Some commonsense makes this obvious......
1. OIL
2. HOUSING
3. TERROR THREAT
