US 10-year Treasuries are offering about the greatest amount of yield versus the S&P 500's earnings yield going back to 2003. Either earnings have to keep outperforming, or bonds will start looking like an increasingly attractive alternative.

Novice and aspiring market speculators think the magic is found in trade identification. The "what" and "when" components of trading -- while necessary -- represent only about 5% of a trader's "edge." Yet aspiring traders spend 80% of their time, energy, hopes and fears on trade identification and the next trade. The real landmine in trading is self-sabotage. Dealing with human emotions is the battle line that matters. You want to know yourself, I mean really know yourself -- the good, the bad and the ugly? Become a trader. This is why all the trading services who talk about their last trade (made 250% on XYZ) is such an absolute joke. Trading services who talk about their winners are trading services you must avoid at all costs. The real enemy in trading is self. You want to know your biggest enemy to trading success? Well, just look in a mirror. It is you, not what you know or don't know, that keeps you from gaining traction in trading. After three to five years of experience a person should know what they need to do to be profitable. The challenge is actually doing what you know you must do. The task is overcoming self.
