Kid,

Curious about your thoughts on Cuban's latest blog post:

mrwiizrd: i think that the Fed is doing everything it can to FORCE risk taking - that's why you've seen money move from 0% bank accounts to 3% corporate bonds, which causes people to talk about how stocks are cheap relative to bonds... which doesn't make stocks cheap.

i think stocks are unattractive right now, but i'm not short either, since there's so much desire on the part of the Fed/Administration to support the market. basically, i have no clue.

i'm watching and waiting, and earning nothing while i do.

Same here, it just seems like the downside risk for a major pullback far outweighs any potential upside that might out there.
