Howdy,
Iran, Greece, Spain, Exp. Bush Tax cuts, China and US recession, Interest rates too low, etc, etc...
Currently 60% Wellesley 35% Wellington, 5% cash. Not as diversified as most of you but Sleeping well at night until the past month or so.
Going to cash probably not great option.
What about Hussman Funds? He appears to be focusing on Capital preservation. All funds are hedged to a certain extent now....I understand the concerns about Inflation long term but I am more worried about a crash in the few months..
Anyone considering running to safer ground? Is this a good option? Any better ideas?
Let the little men running around because the sky is falling slide show begin..
From Hussman March 2012 market commentary.
Market Climate
As noted above, we presently view the menu of investment opportunities to be one of the most unfavorable in history. For equities, much of the bubble period since the late-1990's has been worse in terms of valuations (predictably generating near-zero total returns during this span of time), but in terms of the overall overvalued, overbought, overbullish profile of the market, present conditions fall into a Who's Who of awful times to invest. Both Strategic Growth and Strategic International remain fully hedged. Strategic Dividend Value is nearly 50% hedged. In Strategic Total Return, we clipped our duration back to about 3.5 years, and added a few percent in precious metals shares on price weakness last week, but our overall tendency is toward defensiveness here.
