Dear Subscribers,

The market notched it's second straight week of gains. Why? Because there is more and more proof that we will have a slow growth economy and not a double dip like many fear mongers were preaching. With that being the case, stocks are MUCH more attractive then bonds. This is especially true when you can easily get a dividend yield equal to the 10 year Treasury with decent odds of capital gains to boot. That is not to say that the market will continue to rally higher and higher. Rather we might be entering a period of less volatility and gently sloping upward action. Let me stress the word "might" because the thought of a double dip is certainly not fully removed from our collective conscience. So in the short run anything is possible. Over the long haul I like our odds much better in stocks than any other investment class.
