Massive trade deficits, a service-based economy, massive consumer debt, low savings rates, budget deficits about to reach new heights with the increasing amount of corporate bailouts don't make historic stock market rebounds a very good comparable IMO.
Betting on the market to bounce back because it always has when the underlying numbers are horrible is pretty risky, no?

If that were the only reason than yes, it would be pretty risky. But there are a lot of different factors that make investments pretty attractive right now and over the coming weeks/months.
