I wonder if all those people who sold at the bottom feel like fools.

The Stock Market numbers are an index based upon arbitrary levels in the seventies. They have no bearing on the general condition, prosperity or well being of the vast majority of the people in any country.

Stocks are high because Banks have been bailed out & with interest rates so low, liquidity is chasing opportunity. The bulk of the rises will be in "Too Big To Fail" Banks, Commodities Corps., Mining & in Companies who've outsourced their manufacturing abroad in pursuit of 'profit maximisation'.

Small companies have easily outperformed the large caps over the last 2 years, about 33% to 22%.
