That's the principal rule of thumb but IMHO it's just to early to start buying. I am afraid the fall will continue till the end of August and maybe till the end of the year with very few ups.
This situation is new to everyone and you simply can't make judgements based on the past.

Since you only chose to only use part of what I actually wrote, I'll say it again.

I'm not saying this is the bottom yet, but please we need some more "sky is falling", SHTF, stock up on dry dog biscuits, etc talk. SPREAD THE PANIC!!


Put please continue to spread the word. Maybe even mention the market will never, ever come back again, so pull ALL your money out now.

Actually it's a terrible rule of thumb. Only trade the market when there is a confirmed uptrend.

I've got to agree with yannis. I really don't think we've seen the bottom of this thing yet. Not sure how much longer it'll go, but I'd give it a day or so. It's not like it's going to pop back up in a day, so you stand to lose little and potentially gain a lot by waiting.

interesting market today in Australia (Tuesday).

I put down a few big ones on vanguard S&P index.

Market dropped 5%, between 10AM and lunch. then went up and made all the losses back. I made 5.1% today. But I'm a long run indexing dork so will be holding on to these nonetheless.

by no means offsets the huge losses but it does help...

There may be a dead cat bounce, but until "things" change any rally will be on sinking sand, just like the past 2 years.

 

[crinkles]

like the past 10...

Rising on rumor (Fed Purchasing Treasuries)..Stimulus

It will fall on fact..whether or not the Fed buys more debt or not.

It's The Bernanke bounce.

 

[PandaBear]

sold the stuff i bought yesterday on the bounce. waiting for a lower stable price before i get in again.

 

[Pablo]

I didn't sell a thing in the last many days. Today was tempting, but when the big guys came back in whammo!!

 

[Pablo]

THAT was weird. My portfolio was green on a day when the DOW is down over 500 points. All my energy stuff was up huge.

I did buy F today at the low. Looked like a bargain.

That's for sure....gave back everything we got yesterday and then some.

Interesting tidbit I heard today: If you're in a mutual fund their trades don't execute until just after market close. So, if you start to see the market break one way and want to buy/sell to take advantage of it, you would have been really hurt every day today, as the wild dives and rise have all occurred in the last several minutes of trading.

 

[crinkles]

you can avoid that by doing an ETF of the mutual fund.

 

[Pablo]

WTR, CHT, EPD, PFO, F, LINE, others all up double digits

Shut the front door.

Good gain in this bizarro market. I'm still 95% out.

Gold bubble folks might want to rethink that!
