Since I like to buy stocks at the ugliest of times, I've been buying stocks. That being said, I've been short the index futures for most of the past year, so I have a pretty good hedge built in. With everything on sale, and a long time frame, I can't help but to buy stocks.

we're almost certainly going to be deflationary for the next 6 months to a year, then it depends on how effective the stimulus and the obama administration in general is

Although there is a lot of liquidity being added, the lack of loans is making money disappear as the loans outstanding are being paid off.
