Which probably shows that it's a really good time to move your money to something safe for a while. The economy can't continue to suck while stocks keep continuing to break records forever. At some point the valuation of a company has to at least be related to the company's fundamentals. It seems like there's quite a disconnect right now, and that a huge reason why stocks are so far up is simply that nobody can make a cent in traditional investments due to the intransigence of the Fed vis-a-vis interest rates. Obviously nobody can say when, but I tacitly assume that we're nearing a market correction.
