Chart of The Day: Investor Stock Allocation
Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2008 12:04 pm
This is an amazing read and chart, via Barry Ritholtz, showing the current percentage of assets allocated to equities. It's an ugly picture, but also shows we might be at the bottom (or very near it) of the sell off. BTW, this is the worst percentage decline of the stock market since the Crash of 1929 (see the second link).
