If this goes down another 300-700 points it will really be a great opportunity for those people who have never really invested to maybe start.  For all others, dollar cost averaging is a great principal here.  I personally haven't been scared of;
the financial crisis, housing woes, the weak dollar, high oil, inflation, Israel bombing Iran, America bombing Iran, consumer debt levels, government debt levels or high commodity prices.  A little capitulation is always healthy for the market. If Obama wins though, all bets are off.  :users:
Here's hoping that Clams is chillin' with someone cool up in that big EMAW in the sky. RIP Clams, RIP.

It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

    You can't be racist and like basketball.
Everyone should be investing whether the stock market continues to go down or not.

IMO.

No because they're a health care provider that, quite incidentally, deems it necessary to build a motor vehicle on occasion.

The Obama effect won't be what you guys are expecting.  His election will pull the far-left hedge fund money off of the short side and we'll see a nice bounce between election day and his innauguration.  After that though expect about 40 months of a crushing bear market as his policies whiz through Congress unmolested.  Today is a nice short term opportunity but don't expect to make big bucks over the next few years on this dip, this is only the beginning.

Indeed, gotta buy low and sell high.  Lots of opportunities to buy low right now...... :eek:....it's that sell high part that's tricky.

Agreed. Should be much better under Obama. Hell even McCain might not be such a trainwreck.

Recession-fed bear markets average 30-35% down on the Dow and the threat of an Obama administration should be good for at least another 10% all by itself.  Where are we, just over 20%?    :sleep:
