Happy New Year?

One of the most important lessons you can ever learn about markets is also one of the easiest to forget: Just because prices are more reasonable than they were doesn't mean they're reasonable.

[...]

No one wants to hear that. It's almost irresistible to believe that after all we investors have endured--the hellish bear market, the recession, the scandals--we've emerged from the crucible sadder but wiser, finally willing to face the truth about stock values. But it isn't so. The amazing reality is that we haven't learned our lesson even yet.
