I really don't know what will happen!   I do know that I'm fairly balanced, with a bit more bond than equity risk.   A major equity correction will present an opportunity, but I'm not predicting it, nor do I need it to achieve financial goals.   Kinda warm and fuzzy in here...  (and BTW, I like Mr. Blaines style;...more

Funny!   Mine was dark, and covered a lot more of my forehead!!!
