Yes, the Dow Jones has hit all-time record highs, but according to hedge-fund legend Stanley Druckenmiller: "The party is going on, and money is being pumped in," but it can't last.
"The party can continue for awhile," he allowed. "I don't know when it's going to end, but my guess is it's going to end very badly." And he added a word of caution for investors only just being drawn into the markets after years of holding back: "If you're going to play ... for God's sake play in liquid instruments."
