No, I'm still 30-35% in equities. I was asking the PT forum why they believe it hasn't crashed at least to the level it did during the financial crisis.


There are a lot fewer shares floating and available in the market today than there was in 2008 due to the lack of IPOs and share buybacks over the last 10 years. Based on lack of supply and inflation adjustments I seriously doubt the Dow hits 6626 like it did on March 1st 2009.


ETA: In all of it's history the market has never failed to reclaim it's previous peak. Even after this downturn the market has till averaged at least 10% per year since early 2009. Stay invested and start adding now. Dollar Cost Averaging is your friend!

Because every company in America didn't overnight lose 50% of its value and some people realize that.
