  • Retail casts away doubts on equities • 8:51 AM From Seeking Alpha

    "I don't want to miss out." a Los Angeles real estate appraiser said in a note to his financial adviser last week after seeing one pundit up his DJIA forecast to 20K.
    "Frankly, from 2009 until recently, I wanted to stay very conservative," says a technology sales manager. "I want to get more aggressive."
    A Houston attorney and stock market skeptic was turned by her Schwab statement showing YTD gains of nearly 20%. She's planning on set aside more of her paycheck for stocks. "Sometimes you feel like it's too late. But it's probably never too late."

    Inflows of $8.9B into long-only equity funds last week were the largest amount since March 2000. This follows October inflows into stock funds that were the 3rd largest on record.
  • "Be fearful when others are greedy."
  • When there are no doubts, time to worry. Of course I always worry.
  • Reply to @ron: There are still many who have doubts, and that's why the market could continue to churn upwards..."climbing the wall of worry".

    I can't even count how many articles "warning" of a strong correction were posted this past week. Lots of worry out there.
