ahnuld-

iirc, lynch i think has this data in one of his books (either one up on wall st or beating the st, ill check later) that has this historical info. It turned out to be something absurd like 95% of the time (by year, # years outperformed/total years) stocks have outperformed bonds.

also "Theres no way to know which is overpriced or which is selling for a bargain"

I think I would invest in mutual funds or index funds which would do the stockpicking for me, at this point in my life at least. My primary question is regarding diversification and asset allocation and the correct way to think/go about it. So if you're saying 100% stocks/equities doesn't make sense to you, what do you recommend?

80% stocks? 20% bonds? or what? thanks
