Bull Market Finally Coming to and End? Crash Coming Soon?

[Alex Keathley]

Hey there BP Community!

I had a very interesting conversation the other day with a Buy and Hold stock investor who is completely sitting on the sidelines with Stable Funds over the next six months to a year. He said that the stock market recent upward trends during near economic collapse is basically an artificial construct that is screaming sell now.

After he showed me the insane jump in index prices over the past 10 years without much slowing down in the past two, it is hard to argue that we are not at our peak in the stock market.

I've never been much of a fan of the stock market compared to real estate investing, but have diversified some of my assets in an IRA index funds the past few years. At this point, it seems that keeping my assets in index funds offer more risk than reward at this point. My questions are, do you think I should take the investors advice into consideration and transfer my assets to a stable fund during this time of major uncertainty or ride the wave? How will this crash impact real estate investors as a whole?
