I actually love this market right now. The banks are getting just what they deserved. Maybe there is something to that Karma. Their hedge against the inflation that was intended for regular US citizens is all in the market. That is where the inflation exists. They can't do anything with it unless a rush of investors take them off their position at these prices. Volume is down....... Trust is down.... and all the time Boomers are doing well on their 401Ks as they retire.

I donno....Activist or investors, people can believe what they want...To work or play in the Markets is a person's choice...

I realize there is little Trust in the Markets at this time..

And judging by some of the comments read here, and heard on the street...;

There is little Trust in our Government and other Entities involved...

Not trying to be the eternal optimist...I do realize we still have some problems...

Situations are getting better except for maybe debt, and our Countries Valuation..?

But the the perpetual doom & gloom accomplishes little, so I don't want to be dragged down..

Do what you have to do....And let's hope or make it come out better..

Doing nothing, and the blame will land squarely on your shoulders.

I'm Guessing into some that Analysts and Article writers are pointing out...

Just be careful, some are Bear traps and some are Bull shidt..Or maybe a Rider; Takes research..

Solid Companies and good dividends are a place to look...

But any dividends above 6-7% can come down quickly in stock price...Depending on Economy.

Many REITS are looking pretty decent for the time being...But there are good and bad...

Depends on their Outlays..

I was selling some the last couple days...Going to something, I consider better...

And I have added a little Goldminers on the cheap..adding more..

Also added a little Ford this A.M.....Doing some DCAverageing.

The Buck will not stop at Truman's desk the buck will simply stop being important in world trade. Already 90 percent of the world is trading in yuan and not dollars. The dollar has hardly any life ledt in it.

Jin said he was confident that the Obama administration and Congress would ultimately solve the debate over the so-called fiscal cliff, "but of course the printing machine will have to slow down for people to have full confidence in the dollar".
