You might find a satchel of diamonds on the floor in the movie theater. In fact, it's about as likely as you coming out ahead at a casino!

i'd think about the same is true for the long-term investor in the stock market.

I seriously hope you're kidding. Otherwise you have just won the "dumbest post of the month" award.

And where do you think that money market account is invested? A money market account is invested in, get this, a STOCK PORTFOLIO!

Don't change though. As long as people like you are out there, having no clue how the market works it means more demand for Finance professionals, which is good news for me.

Odds in a casino depend naturally on what game your playing. I played blackjack and won a little bit of dough. The key thing to remember is that its very streaky, and thats good, because thats how you can beat the house. In blackjack the odds are only slightly against you. The people who walk up and slap down $500 and then leave crack me up. You have to be in it for the streak, up or down. Eventually you will streak up, its only a matter of time (and money, but time is money right?)
Playing slots is for fools, I just wish I had enough money to play some no limit hold em'

I belive in the markets, but if you get anything with a higher than 10:1 PE ratio you are geting it right in the ear.

10:1? Maybe if long term treasuries were paying 10 percent...

do you understand that today a standard US Government 10 Year Treasury Bond has an effective P/E ratio of just below 20:1? You can't just pull P:E ratios out your ass, you need to compare them to something and since 10 year treasuries are guaranteed money, most sophisticated investors compare them to those.

no, your right, a proper return is hard to find with everything so inflated, but the returns on a stock should be considerably better than a bond reflecting the considerable risk involved.

that's why the best investments are in cooperate bonds for company's your reasonably sure won't go under, like ford motor company.

and the fact remains that the valuation of stocks supposedly takes into account long-term information thus placing them all at the proper value given all information.

that is: that it returned 11% last century should already be factored into this century's prices.

We talked about the good old days when spending $30 on a sweater was considered extravagant. Now, we spend about 200 on a sweater without flinching (I say it's due to inflation!).

I say it's due to her being a clueless twit!

That much i agree with .C-bonds are looking pretty good with excellent yields. Just wish I had the sort of capital neccesary to fool around with them.
