Investors Are Nervous

[srblanco7]

With the caveat that I know that most of us are not market timers...

WSJ Article titled "Investors Are Nervous" noted that fund managers have their lowest exposure to stocks relative to bonds since 2009. In addition, inflows to money market accounts have driven them to a record balance of $5.3 trillion. Heeding the advice of Warren Buffet, is it time to be "greedy when others are fearful"?

If you watch CNBC too much, then you get the impression that everyone is nervous all the time. A part of the sky is always falling on there.

The markets have been pretty resilient all things considered. It might be time to be greedy if there is a crash.
That being said, I just keep steadily investing no matter what is going on.

And this is why you should invest in index funds. I'd be pretty peeved if the manager of my actively managed stock fund was actually getting out of stocks.

I don't think you should be fearful or greedy. You should just stay the course and keep on investing day in and day out no matter what the market is doing.

I think CNBCs role is to get investors to do "something" - as long as trades are being made, brokers earn their commissions. .

I like that old yarn Warren Buffett has been known to repeat "Don't just do something, stand there!"
