Scoff if you would like to, but I just put all my US stock holdings equally into small value, mid value, and large value.
I was looking at a 20 year DOW chart. I just cant' believe the market has rallied this much. It is awesome considering I have made 90K in total earnings over the past 3 years.
However, I lived in Southern California - Inland Empire when the Real Estate boom was happening. And, I watched it burst. I remember all the professionals in Southern California, with all their numbers and explanations regarding how home prices would "never fall". Whenever I hear that type of talk...it is a BIG red flag.
The investors these days look like sheep running toward a big, steep cliff. Sheeple!
Regardless of what the "numbers" say about how "the market rally will continue", I am trusting my gut. I'm not really trying to time the market, since I know that fails. However, I am one of those people who try to blend a gut feeling with a some percentage.
Finally, I know that Value can be risky (in the short term). I may be wrong and the market may gain another thousand points. However, it has peaks and falls right around 15.5K (DOW) the last couple times.
Please give me constructive criticism!!!
