I believe that equities were overvalued in 1990's, which is why we are digesting the excesses right now. Now equities are valued just right if you ask me ( except for Motors Liquidation of course ). I bought stocks when S&P 500 was at 1500, I also bought when it was at 700. If S&P 500 drops to 500 I would keep buying.. I am not going to run out of funds soon, as my purchases are funded by my dividend payments.. As long as the world economy keeps working, I would still get at least some dividends sent my way..

Stocks always do poorly starting from sky-high price levels. I have come to believe that stocks are the same as anything else you can buy. They are a great deal at some prices and a horrible deal at other prices. Rob Stocks always do well starting from low or moderate valuation levels.
