Stock Trend Investing

What shall anybody who wants to invest his or her money now do when stock markets do not move in any specific direction, the recovery is uncertain and interest rates on savings accounts are still incredible low? I like to have a simple answer. The simple answer is not there yet, but here is some food for thought.

To try to find simple investing strategies that work when there are no clear trends in the stock markets, I am reading and looking what can be done with bonds.

At the same time, a disaster scenario would be where stocks do not move in any long term trend, savings accounts do not provide any substantial interest and inflation starts to soar, eating away all your savings.
