another all-time record high for the broader market today. the s&p 500 hit an all-time high. while we enjoy the recent gains, easy to forget uneasy realities. for example, three years since the flash crash, an event that destabilized the market, and since th, nothing done to fix the underlying problem, and some say it's gotten worse. what's an inveor to do? with us, frank, the president and ceo of plan financial services and martin, the cio and portfolio manager. martin, starting with you, on set here with me. talk to me about the markets. you know, we saw the s&p 500 in a new high, but when will they run out of gas? >> good question. could go for awhile, b i guess the best way for us to frame it is with respect to what's going on, and that is this fact that cost of money is phony, and that is trading the roving bubbles.
9:02 pm
first, gold, gold peaked out at 19 months ago at 1900, and then the, ofcourse, bonds never been more expensive. interest rates are low, and what's happening is investors seeking yield have my grated towards stocks. it's bid up. gerri: confusing world, a new world. martin, to you -- sorry, frank, to you. martin mntioned the idea that bonds may be in a bubble. are you concerned about them? whicmarket do you like better? stocks or bonds right now? >> well, compared to the two, stocks offer more opportunity and security than fixed interest rkets with interest rates low, people are driving to the area to invest, but with the interest rates, eventually going to rise, i think that's -- on any long term bond, you'll expose yourself to interest rate risks. gerri: people are worried about that. martin, to you. i mentioned the flash crash in the introduction of the segment. you know, nothing's changed
9:03 pm
there. still all of the black pools, anything could be happening that -- individual investors know nothing about. does it concern you, what do you tell your clients about this? >> well, it's in everyone's interest for the market to be healthy at all time,s and, certainly, people who speculate in the markets, who buy because they are up and sell things because they are down, traders, it's a real concern for them. for us, it's noto much of a concern because we, first of all, look at the cash flow stocks are generating, and liquidity for us is secondary. if you -- but it is a concern, and i think individual investors really have to be awareof that. you don't want to sell your stocks in a declining market. you -- if -- gerri: don't have that problem right now. >> exactly. gerri: frank, to you, comment somethin said on our show last week expressing concerns over the safety and security of the markets. listen to this. >> the structure of the markets
9:04 pm
in this country is upside down. >> how so? >> more than 60% of what happens each day happens in dark pools and in -- i call them onds, that no one can swim in. that's wrong. gerri: we could have a flash crash y time at all, what do you mean by that? frank? >> oh, sorry. well, we don't think that, you know, with the likelihood of a flash cra occurring at any point, i think investors have to be focused on the day-to-day wh's happening in the market place and impact on the portfolio. much of what happens in the dark pools are more institution to institution, and impact people that are really daily trading and on a technical basis. >> you know, martin, we talked about this new product out there, getting 5 lot of ink in the "wall reet journal" today, fine maturity etfs: bond funds that don't act like funds, but like bonds. is that a welcomed edition, something you have any interest
9:05 pm
in the for the clients? >> i really don't ecause the 10-year rate is less than 2%, so you tie the money up for 2% is not attractive. >> okay. talk about do it yourself investing, diy investing. a lot of people out there expected during the meltdown that individual investors would decide, hey, i'm beginning to get professional advice, didn't happen. look at the numbers. the growth in the people using adviser, 9%, the growth of people doing their own investok at the years, 2008-2011, frank, to you, is it surprising? are people making the right choice? >> well, obviously, as a professional adviser, people should seek professional help, but you'll have those that feel the home depot approach is the better way to go, but ooking at professional advisers, ag seases to information and approaches things in the unbiased manner, people benefit from clarity of what's going on in the market as
9:06 pm
well as tieing that into the financial picture they are trying t develop for the family. gerri: martin, it speaks to the fact that people are still untrusting of the markets and untrusting of anybody they think is associated with the markets. we just had a survey last week from bankrate.com showing 76% of folks don't want to invest in stocks, even now after the incredible run up. how long does it tae for the confidence to come back? you expect tosee that confidence come back? >> drives to the heart of the paradox of investing, and that is when things seem riskyist is when they are least risk. price is the most important determinant. in 2009, after the real estte crash and crash of 2000 and crash again in 2009, 2008, things looked scary, and now they look better back to the levels of 2007, but -- gerri: i got to interrupt here, martin. people focused on prices, the prices of the asets they owned,
9:07 pm
not the market levels. what happened to the house price, what happened to the 401(k), and it was hard to be anything but truly disturbed. >> and are still afraid, and the statistic drives to the point that advisers tend to dod wrog things at the wrong time as well, and -- gerri: human too. >> and it's like any other profession. there's only certain percentage of those who are really, really confident, and -- gerri: you really got it -- >> as a profession, we improved our worth to the average person. gerri: well, you know, some people are good; some are not. like anything else in any other profession. frapping, martin, thank you, great job to both of you. appreciate your time. all right, the markets and corporate profits might be hitting record highs, but thatted good fortune is not reaching the average working american. hourly wages picking up four crepts in april to an average 23.87, up 2% since the recovery
