Most likely scenario for 2010 (and perhaps even next few years?) seems to be a trading range, with the year ending pretty flat. Stock picking may still offer opportunities to outperform. Generally it looks to be a better year for traders than longer term investors though. Yes, tough year for investors.

It is easy to forget. I agree times are very nervous and no one wants to make a mistake, especially fund managers, who maybe lost money last year. One more mistake this year and they are learning how to drive a taxi. (not that they do not deserve it :-). I agree that recovery is very heterogeneous, Now, you can see easily times when S&P500 is flat because one third of its stocks went up 10% and the rest is down 7%. I believe stock investors are now experiencing the toughest period of investing, and that is that they are "aggressively sitting on their own hands". I did not buy/sell anything since November 09, and its tough. Hi, I like your charts, it is always good to remember that yields on bonds were peaking at 15% not so long ago. It is easy to forget.
