Bank of America says growth stocks are in a bubble exceeding the 'dot-com' and 'nifty fifty' eras — and warns they could take the S&P 500 down 40%

The S&P 500 could see a "lost decade" ahead, Bank of America warns.

This stagnation of a prolonged bull market, plus don and elon, are why I bailed on growth stocks, and only kept dividend blue chips. A healthy percent of my holdings are now in a money market and inflation indexed funds. While the dotcom bull market returned a higher margin, this one has lasted considerably longer.

me too

My focus is on capital preservation. 60% of my portfolio is in dividend paying "widow and orphan" stocks which I have held for the last 35 years. The other 40% is in a Roth IRA money market paying 4.16% in monthly interest which I consider to be a low risk muni bond proxy.
 
Last couple of weeks have wiped out YTD gains. Basically flat for the year.
Certainly feels like a flight to quality, safe harbor stocks.

My grandson will be attending college in 18 months. I have had his 529 plan in a total stock index fund and it has been a nice ride during the Biden years, but I have moved 75% of his portfolio to an interest accumulation fund which will cover 100% of his 4 years at an in-state university ( fingers crossed for UNC)

The remaining 25% I'm going to keep in the total stock index fund and hope Trump's stupidity doesn't take it to zero. My hope is that over the next 5 years there will be enough to cover the cost of graduate school should my grandson decide to pursue a post graduate degree.
