Is the “cult of the equity” dead? Institutional investors have slashed their equity holdings over the past decade. Stocks have not been this far out of favor in over a half a century. “Ultimately what is going on is that fundamental tenets of capitalist society are being questioned,” says Allianz's Andreas Utermann. This is stunning in light of overwhelming evidence that, in the long run, equities outperform. From 1900 to 2010, they beat inflation by 6.3% a year in the U.S., compared with only 1.8% for bonds.

jack Stop the bull. The democratic controlled senate passed all the nominees. I guess all the Clinton and Carter appointments to SCOTUS are just wonderful in your book. Once in your writing try some objectivity and stop the partisan BS.

The CBO is nuts. Do nothing and the economy will grow 4.4% and add 2 million jobs? And just why will this prediction come true when the rest of the world is in worse shape than the U.S.? What happens if the cuts and tax increases don't come about and interest rates rise? I guess we just become Greece.

Note to little guys: You got screwed again. The same will applied to your purchase of FB. The Greeks have it right not to trust the bankers.
