[QUOTE="klein, post: 709410, member: 23950"] I can tell you this much: Just earlier this week, on my Canada yahoo news, Canadians have been advised to invest in the US Stockmarkets. I could probably search for that link, but a bit lazy busy right now. Anyways, long story short: Investors from all over the world (outside the US), are getting more shares for thier own currency in the US markets (due to the lower dollar). So, the time to buy is now, basically. I think thats the main reason, the markets have been holding up so good. And they also keep climbing, while the US dollar falls. I can't even see a 1 or 2% interesst rate making a huge difference, because the looks of it, the USA will be the last major country raising those rates, and the dollar keeps falling faster then 2 or 3 % per year. Basically, I would be stupid to invest in say, a US savings account, that gives me 3%, but by the end of the year, the dollar falls 5%. (= 2% loss). The US stockmarkets however seem to make up for the dollar losses, plus ofcourse company profits. So, I'm not too worried yet. But, I'm sure the profit takers are lurking for the right moment to cash out, and we'll get a stockmarket adjustment within the year, meaning 2 or 3 days of selling , bringing it down again. Nothing to worry about, for long term investors though. Overall, this year, we'll still get more return, then any other bank savings investment will. [/QUOTE]
