Great triptych chart courtesy of Lance Roberts today that answers three misleading statements heavily asserted by the risk-selling hoards: 1. that investors are afraid and under-allocated to equities, 2. that investors are afraid and over-allocated to bonds, 3. that investors are afraid and holding an overweight in cash. The answers as shown below are clearly: no, no and no.
