Bonds, CDs, savings accounts? All are paying close to nothing. When you consider vehicles for investing, you would at least like to get more in income than the rate of inflation, so one is limited in his choices. With that in mind it is no wonder the stock market keeps rising.
At some point in time, however, just keeping what one has may be a good choice as opposed to losing 30% or more.
