I am looking at the carnage and thinking now is the time to invest (or very soon).
Since I am near ER (in 3 years)... I am not going to sell my fixed and invest in stocks with that money because I would have to delay ER.... No one knows how long it will take for the stock market to recover. The last time it took 7 years for the DOW and S&P to hit the same level (not including inflation).
However, I have been rebalancing my equity holdings (mostly in indexes) to get a little more international exposure and figure now might be a good time to do so... but perhaps there are better moves.
International Stocks did great the last several years, so did Reits... But looking forward, things could be different.
My question to the forum is: What Markets (domestic or Foreign) and or Capitalization Size (Mega, Large, Mid-cap, Small-cap, etc.)... or for that matter Sector (financial, energy, retail, etc..) do you think will blast out of the bear and lead the next Bull?
