Bernstein:Precious Metals: Time for Fear, Not Greed
Precious metals make sense as part of a long-term portfolio allocation, but today's prices are not offering an attractive entry point, says Bill Bernstein.



Bernstein: Take Risks in Stocks, Not Bonds
Investors should stay away from risky asset classes in fixed income and stick to Treasuries, money markets, and CDs, says Bill Bernstein



Bernstein: European Stocks Look Cheap
European stocks are pricing in a real Armageddon, and if that Armageddon doesn't occur, you'll have fairly decent returns, says author Bill Bernstein.



Bogle: Market About Fairly Valued Today
A reasonable estimate based on dividend yields, potential earnings growth, and current P/E ratios suggests a 7% annual return for stocks over the next 10 years, says the Vanguard founder.



Bogle: Stick to the Straight and Narrow
The Vanguard founder and former chairman on the average investor's odds with private equity, hedge funds, and commodities, including gold.



Bogle: Speculation Dwarfing Investment
The Vanguard founder and former chairman calculates there is 200 times as much speculation as there is investment in the market today



Bogle: Investors Have Tough Time with ETFs
For many investors, the proliferation and tradability of ETFs serves as an unnecessary diversion to an otherwise sound investment program, says the Vanguard founder and former chairman.



Bogle: We Need a Quiet Revolution Back to the Basics


Ferri: What's Holding Back Active ETFs
Active ETFs may hold a tax advantage, but lack of 401(k) availability and the need to publish daily holdings have held back their growth versus their open-end brethren.



Ferri: Buy, Hold, and Rebalance Works
Despite market fluctuations, patient investors could have realized over 6% compounded annual returns over the last decade with a disciplined buy-hold-rebalance strategy, says Portfolio Solutions' Rick Ferri.



Ferri: No Reason for Alternatives
Investor Solution's Rick Ferri opts for the cash flow of stocks, bonds, and real estate in his portfolios over using more exotic alternatives.



Ferri: Dividends May Lure Investors Back to Stocks
Given current yields on stocks versus bonds, it may be an intelligent move for investors to allocate assets to dividend-payers, says Investor Solutions' Rick Ferri.
