I recently read "bull" by maher and "yes you can time the market" by ben stein. They both made a good case that the long term returns of investing in the stock market was around 6%. I also agree you shouldn't chase trends. however I think you should be cognizant of them and try to be there before the masses do. so you leading the trend, not following it. I think you made the right choice by getting out of REITs. I somewhat agree with you in your analysis.
