I am following the advice of Warren Buffet. I am buying stock in businesses that are on solid ground that have fallen due to lack of confidence of the other investors. You buy when the stock is down and sell when the stock is high. I sold a lot of stock 3 months ago when storm clouds were in the air. I then bought bonds only to sell them today and buy good stock. Check out the history of the businesses you are investing in, it will be helpful. Hope this helps some of you.

Your a braver man than me.To many times we've seen companies that look good on paper go down the gurgler,and the Investors are left holding the bag,while the company heads still have every thing.
For my Money there's only one sure thing and thats Bricks and Mortar,
Sure it's a slower market,but it's also a proven market that works.

Well, rider, the thing is you invest in companies that have real assets and ceo's with investment in the company. For instance, 3 years ago I bought 200 shares of Wal-mart stock at $42.00 a share. I sold it last year at $54.00 a share so I made $2400.00 for two years of investment. Now where am I going to make that kind of money without much risk. To be honest after I sold it, it shot up to $62.00 a share. I sold it at that time because it's history showed that the stock price varied between $42-$52 dollars. You have a lot less risk with blue chip stocks. Enron was a bad investment because it had no assets only contracts. I warned my father but he invested anyway. Now he asks my advice. Nice.

The stock market and real estate market are both proven investment opportunities. And both are cyclical.

Unfortunate that both are in valleys right now, but the great thing (and some might argue worst thing right now) is that markets correct themselves. Housing and stocks had been unchecked for quite some time and experts in both investment realms predicted such a crisis for years. Maybe not to the degree that we are seeing, but a crisis nonetheless.

But both the real estate market and stock market will rebound...with time.

Sharp and Rider. I'm riding the fence between the both of you. Both of you sound right to me.

Well do yourself a real big favour and stay sitting there for the moment.
With the current economic troubles around the world today,I really wouldn't like to know dlsharp and I influenced you to jump in and find out you lost everything before you got started.
I'm sure Dlshard would agree with me,just sit tight for a while.

Ha. I know exactly what you mean and I am planning on sitting tight for the near future. In fact, maybe for the forseeable future.

Is anyone watching the market today? Talk about a continual rubber band effect of market corrections. Up 1,000 one day, back down 700 right afterwards. Very interesting.

Buy on the cheap, and hold. Buffett also seems to like dividend stocks.

If you have the money to buy now and can wait on your return, then buying now may be for you. But if you don't have the money or you can't wait to see your return I would not buy anything now.
