Stocks Soar: What You Should Do

Yesterday marked the end of the US stock market's best September since 1939. I spoke with CBS3 this morning to discuss what you should do with your investments, now that the market is actually UP!

By the way, it was a darned nice quarter for other stock markets and asset classes. Check out these results:

• FTSE-100: +12.8%
• China: 12.1%
• Stoxx Europe 600: +6.7%
• Gold: +5%
• Copper: +24%
• Crude Oil: +5.7%
• High Yield Corporate Bonds: +6.5%
• Investment Grade Bonds: +4.9%
• Treasury Bonds: +2.7%

Still, none of these returns match the over 60 percent return of the Sri Lankan stock market!
