    Investors should be focused on return of investment, not return on investment for the next year or so at least. But they aren't. They're chasing yield in earnest like never before (since at least 2007 anyway). Government guaranteed term deposits are among the only really safe investment. And let's not forget that the only asset that assuredly increases in real value during deflation is cash.

    As for traders, volatility is back and with it the opportunity to make higher returns (or lose more money if on the wrong side of the market and if not managing risk). Short stocks, commodities and forex and long the usd and vix near-mid term but only trade with what you can afford to lose. It's gonna be a wild ride!
