33. 33 Summary: Bullish Long Term (11-14-11) Diversify your assets. When investing long-term in the stock market: a) know your pain threshold (use stop losses), b) Timing your entry is THE most important investment decision. Overweight stocks (large cap/ div), underweight bonds. Combined strength of modestly accelerating US growth, soft landing in Emerging Markets should outweigh slowdown in Europe. Stock market will remain rangebound another 3—6 months, but should be poised for a sustained upturn by mid-2012…above norm volatility will continue.
