The last two years there's been a remarkable run in the stock market. With the exception of Japan, stocks are up around the world. Despite a shrinking dollar, rising oil prices and a meltdown in building and lending sectors, the Dow and the S&P keep chugging along, Americans keep spending, and China keeps pumping out the trash we buy. The Chinese economy grew at an 11.5% annual rate last quarter and is set to move ahead of Germany as the world's third largest economy.
I have a considerable portion of my modest stash in the market, and the market "have been bery, bery good to me" over the last 20-or-so months. It's also scared the crap out of me a couple of times. I'm still hanging with it, but lately I've been starting to feel like a cat sitting on a hot stove. So my question, how high is up? Are we near the end? Or can this run be sustained for another year? Two years? Please,shre your collective wisdom.
