Although, I am tempted...I was in the market in 2008. Lost almost everything. That was the end of my investing experience.
/——/ I was caught 50% in cash. I want to be 100% cash and trade nothing but option spreads. As my holdings recover, I’ll sell.

I bought 200 shares of American Airlines on the Monday swoon, thinking it would probably turn around in six to eight months, but it was up today (Tuesday) so I sold for a 15% profit. Just a small speculation with funds I don't need in the near future, but it's nice to hit a winner like that once in a while.
Someone ask me the other day if it was time to buy and I hedged by saying it depends, but really it does depend. If you're a long term investor which means your goal is out a decade or more and you dollar cost average, you should just continue if you can. If you are looking to start a nest egg, then now is the time to start dollar cost average, investing the same amount with every major fall in the market and as it rises continue with periodic investments of the same amount. If you are intent on buying at the bottom, I suggest you consult your Ouija Board because it's just as accurate as anything else at picking the bottom.I'm not. If you do, make your buys small and average your way back in.
Agreed. If the big guys can't pick the bottom it's not likely Mom and Pop investor are going to do any better.Someone ask me the other day if it was time to buy and I hedged by saying it depends, but really it does depend.

One tip that has worked for me over the years is don't try to buy the market as it rises, nor try buy it at the very bottom. Buy it as it goes down. If you try and wait until the market has clearly hit bottom you will probably not buy at all because bottoms in the market now days occur very rapidly often followed by thousand point rises. You will probably be waiting for the right time to buy when it hits a new all time high.
