All on Board in the Greatest Stock Market Rally Ever (Buyer beware) [View all]


All on Board in the Greatest Stock Market Rally Ever By Numerian May 7

Your choices are not good ones. You can keep your money in cash, making sure it is in a healthy bank and in an amount per bank that is within national deposit insurance limits. That doesn’t guaranty that your savings will not be confiscated in a crisis, but it does improve your chances of holding on to your money. Or, you can invest in the stock market, gambling that this central bank-infused rally will continue forever, and that your money is not at risk of sudden evaporation from a Flash Crash. Sadly, both of these stock market assumptions are wrong, and in this case, two wrongs certainly do not make a right. But as I said before, now is the time to think about these alternatives, before the computers withdraw all liquidity from the market in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.
