Nobody knows.

But if I were a betting man... and I do invest...

The market is tired, and interest rates are going to eventually go up. So, eventually, stocks and bonds will both go down.

However, many think that the government will do all it can to keep the ball in the air until after the elections. A bouyant economy is good for the party in power. And, once elected, most Presidents choose to take their recession early in their term.

So, I’d say dribble in some of your money, but take a few years to get fully invested.

I do sleep at Holiday Inns sometimes, BTW.

That certainly wasn’t the case in 08.

I think the next shoe to drop will be the bond markets.
