<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 978034, member: 3011&quot;]The one thing to keep in mind is that this sort of doom and gloom has been an investment industry for a long time.&nbsp; Occasionally, they get something right.&nbsp; I just wanted to point out that Edelson isn&#039;t nearly as infallible as he pretends to be.&nbsp; These guys sound very convincing, and can easly scare people into inaction.&nbsp; Bonds probably are overvalued today, but Edelson missed the entire bull market in them.&nbsp; While it is good to listen to all opinions, it is bad to get into the habit of following gurus.&nbsp; I think Edelson&#039;s predictions about the future are garbage.&nbsp; He might turn out to be correct, or not, but it won&#039;t have anything to do with his infallible proprietary method.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t feel equipped for the task of investing, it is better to stay with bank CDs and short term Treasuries until you feel more comfortable.&nbsp; You can also learn a lot by reading the semi-annual and annual report commentaries by some of the better mutual fund companies, even if you don&#039;t invest in their funds.&nbsp; Two of the better ones are linked below.&nbsp; The benefit of this is that these guys are actually INVESTING money, not pontificating from their living room.&nbsp; Good Luck.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.fpafunds.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.fpafunds.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.fpafunds.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://tweedy.com/research/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://tweedy.com/research/" rel="nofollow">http://tweedy.com/research/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.wintergreenfund.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wintergreenfund.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wintergreenfund.com/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
