I'm far from an expert but IMO my portfolio will be heavy with treasuries and gold about 90% in fact.
I just don't/can't trust the market.
Unemployment, Europe, Iran, smaller earnings on Wall Street, and the overall economy here and abroad! Hell, Greece will be defaulting in March and leaving the euro zone.
Economic policies around the world lack seem to lack any viable direction. When does the debt catch up?
I'll play it safe for now.

Yep, the Fed manipulates the interest rates trying to raise the stock market by increasing consumer spending is all. However with the low rates the banks would rather keep that cheap money so they are NOT lending anything to the little guy. As everyone has heard interest rates are low so re-fi or buy a home??? How the hell can you do that if the banks aren't lending even if you are lucky enough to have a job.
The Fed and banks really have a nice ponzi scheme going here.
Lots of BS with NO results so get ready for more BS with a QE3 or some other BS scheme with another name!

Bonds,Bonds and more Bonds! Take the 1.5% or lose it with equities. This shit ain't rocket science? The market has further to drop.
At 1.5%, you might as well put it under the mattress. You aren't even keeping up with inflation at that rate.
There are plenty of good companies that sport a dividend north of 3% . Think Consumer Staples (i.e. PG, UN, etc.) if you think the world is getting uglier... which it is.

Damn glad I don't take advice from brokers and investment advisors! Regardless of how the market gets manipulated I still get paid with 1.4% yield/mo. and profits from the price gains too!
Europe is in da shitter peeps and they have NO clue how to fix it. The banks are screwing you over too so consider that a wake-up call!
Not a chance in hell that I'll be in the market anytime soon! I'm keeping this golden goose until it turns silver!
