We had the biggest bubble in U. My advice to home buyers would be, yeah, if you want a home, I would do that. It could overshoot and go continuing down. You could also see it going back up. Market Mad Libs Time: With the aftermath of historic bubbles in the housing market and stock market, the economy and markets will likely continue to generate surprises.

For most investors, the worst thing to do is pin hopes on another bubble soon. My best advice would be diversify around the entire world and across major asset classes. James Paulsen, Chief Investment Strategist, Wells Capital Management Europe is coming unglued again and again. How old is it until it actually happens? And we certainly have had more than ample time to do that. I think this thing is certainly going to be a weight on growth around the globe, because Europe is in recession.

So the Latin America crisis in the U. Twelve years later, in , we were writing off Brady bonds.

With slowly improving confidence and cheap valuations, the economy and markets will likely rise. For most investors, the worst thing to do is follow the crowd. My best advice would be stay invested. Is the stock market chiefly telling you that QE1 and QE2 have propped it up? I hope the Fed does not do QE3. The problem in our economy is not that rates are too high.

I happen to be a pretty big optimist long-term on our economy. So I still believe in that. I still think you want to bank on that. For most investors, the worst thing to do is panic or speculate. My best advice would be remain calm. Tobias Levkovich, Chief U. Equity Strategist, Citigroup What is it about investors that they just keep pouring into bond funds and refuse to give the market the time of day?

Bonds have not done that for them. The problem is that in order to anticipate that your bonds are going to get you significant positive returns, you almost now have to expect just a calamitous economic environment. Does that continue unabated? With supportive credit conditions and depressed investor sentiment, the economy and markets will likely be somewhat better by yearend.

For most investors, the worst thing to do is react emotionally to headlines by buying every allegedly defensive asset that may be overpriced. My best advice would be to buy large-cap, higher-quality securities with respectable dividend yields and some cyclical exposure.

Is there any end in sight? Is there anything the Fed can do at this point? In the previous cycles, what we get is late-stage inflation pressures as demand exceeds supply. The Fed cranks up interest rates, inverts the yield curve all of a sudden.

Demand starts to retreat with that. And then the Fed starts to cut interest rates, and we go into a new business expansion. So usually, you know, inflation is the enemy, and the Fed fights inflation.

And once inflation is nipped in the bud, interest rates come down.

So usually the Fed is the cause of the recession, and then the Fed is the cause of the recovery. But the Fed was not the cause of this recession, right? You barely had an inversion of the yield curve, and yet it touched off the worst recession since the s. Think about that for a second. With weakness and volatility, the economy and markets will likely disappoint. For most investors, the worst thing to do is take on risk.

My best advice would be be patient. Joan Lappin, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer, Gramercy Capital Management The past three decades have been an epically good time to own bonds over stocks. There have been brief intervals when it was not good to own bonds, but on balance, if I had just stopped being an equity investor and bought year bonds—it was easy to do in You had yields in the mid-teens.

When this goes the other way, people who have come to believe that the stock market is going to kill them and that bonds are going to be their friend are going to get decimated beyond belief. With people so frightened about life and the future and afraid to spend money on anything other than necessities, the economy and markets will likely remain sideways until after the election.

For most investors, the worst thing to do is think bonds represent a safe refuge when they are the most dangerous investment of all. My best advice would be to be patient and invest in stocks paying dividends higher than Treasuries—stocks with something special going on that will allow them to do OK in a slow economy.

Jeremy Siegel, Professor of Finance, the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania Talk about outflows from the market, distaste for the market. What makes this kind of outflow environment different from others?

Mad Libs Monday: "The Stock Market" by Josh Becker of DadStreet - Is This Really My Life | Is This Really My Life

You know, after the Great Depression, people undervalued stocks for 20 years. Did I see earlier in the year that you broached the possibility of Dow 15, by next year? I would not at all be shocked if we got to 17, With the European problems and the fiscal cliff, the economy and markets will likely not be robust through this year. For most investors, the worst thing to do is sell stocks.

My best advice would be to continue to accumulate dividend-paying stocks. Joshua Brown, blogs as The Reformed Broker, Vice President, Fusion Analytics Investment Partners I saw your blog piece today. There were two words: That should be the cover of your magazine. Euro fatigue, enough already. Just let it implode and see what happens. And you know what? No one died, but we had a near-death experience. Let me tell you something.

Because counterfactual to the way we handled all this bailout s— is: All these banks are now property of the U. And so instead of doing that, we opted for incrementalism.

So we kind of amortized the pain over the past four years? Yeah, so if the euro is done, then f—ing let it be done. With subpar growth and an anemic employment situation, the economy and markets will likely shuffle along like half-blind hobos feeling for an open door on the next freight car out of the Slumpsville depot.

For most investors, the worst thing to do is over-trade or think that snippet of noise you heard is actually new, unprocessed information. My best advice would be do push-ups before bedtime and watch the gluten intake. Bloomberg Anywhere Remote Login Software Updates Manage Contracts and Orders.
