Guarantee you've met at least one, probably dozens, if not hundreds more that wouldn't touch a bond these days. Tech bubble burst long time ago, and has little to do with today's market, let alone new regulations and taxes. And I certainly don't get your assumptions about posters, and certainly a claim of 98% percent. Only thing close to true is pennystock gets the most interest in comments/postings, but IHub is a social site, nothing more. I post mostly market news to have "one-stop info center", doesn't matter if it is good or bad current event, to maybe save others a few hours of DD. Personally, don't care what anyone else thinks of the stock, REIT, MLP, etc., positive or negative. Nor do I believe much in TA, which does not take into consideration secretive non-public dealings and products, fiscal cliffs and Euro woes, Japanese earthquakes, and Bernie Madoffs, nor patents expiring, spinoffs or stock splits yet unannounced, nor shorter interest with ANY PR. It's a guideline, nothing more. Otherwise, stocks would always run the direction of the analysts. The wild market swings since last May cannot be used as a reasonable chart comparison, it's more about individual growth projections and financials, and comparing with competitors than S&P or DOW. DOW is down 30 points today, I'm "up 10 points" equivalent. Retail investors are not as stupid as you contemptuously portray.
MVO doing fine for me. (and others)
