Stay out of equities right now. The S&P closed out negative for 2015 and has been downhill since November. Just yesterday the DOW had its biggest opening day loss since 2008. Global markets are slowing and earnings per shares for many companies are starting to stagnate. There's nothing positive going on in the market besides two things: a) unemployment is down (negated by decreasing participation rate) b) inflation close to fed target (skewed due to energy crashing). Best to wait it out.
