I agree with you that...Scott, great blog you have!<br /><br />I agree with you that stocks are cheap and bonds are expensive. As I have found in life it is all about timing. I think we will have a chance to buy cheap stocks even cheaper when we get out next big scary woosh down, which I beleive is coming sometime in the next 6 months. Thanks again for your great blog.hotlantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10455529460008235864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-76958528278742603602011-12-19T14:48:30.718-08:002011-12-19T14:48:30.718-08:00Scott,
