Curious to know why you believe the Fed directs everyone into stocks? What do you suggest as a better alternative to stocks? Are ETFs a safer bet perhaps. However you look at it, all investments that remotely relate to the S&P are exposed to risk.
Despite the huge upside potential with successful biotech stocks, unless you understand their incredible complexities and volatility, you might be better to avoid. Personally, I am a big fan of Biogen Idec Inc. (BIIB) which is up 573% in the past 5 years!
If there's any truth to the adage that when the stock markets are up, gold is down, then perhaps now is the time to buy gold or gold stocks while prices are relatively low. When the stock market eventually sinks which we all know will happen sooner or later, gold will be on its way up and that way you can hedge. Yesterday (GLD) closed at 115.14 bouncing off its 52 wk low of 109.75 on November 6th.
All four stocks are also trading close to their 52 week highs. One could alternatively look for promising stocks trading close to their 52 week lows like IBM, BBG, and RIO.
Housing stocks are still very unpredictable. Projections seem to be that interest rates are set to increase mid 2015, and along with that will be a rise in mortgage rates.
Target has a decent yield of 2.08 (2.80%) and market cap of 46.34bn, but I still prefer Walmart (WMT) with a slightly lower yield of 1.92 (2.20%) but a gigantic market cap of 278.40bn.
