Commodities boom years

• 1812 – 1814
• 1824 – 1840
• 1854 – 1864
• 1880  – 1924
• 1933 – 1952
• 1962 – 1984
• 2004 – 2014

As you can see, the trend during the boom years is not linear. Prices move up then reverse a little then move up and up.  The general conclusion is nothing lasts forever don’t get sucked up in a bull market have an exit strategy.

For some time now Bill Miller has been recommending large caps stock. The legendary investor has beaten market averages for 15 years straight.

This was his bullish message to investors back in August 2010

U.S. large capitalization stocks represent a once in a lifetime opportunity in my opinion to buy the best quality companies in the world at bargain prices. The last time they were this cheap relative to bonds was 1951. I was 1 year old then, but did not have then sufficient sentience or capital to invest. I do now, and if you are reading this, so do you.

Bill Miller has measured stocks in terms of historical PE ratio, dividend yield & relative to bonds and he concluded stocks are cheap.
