Pavarotti | Do those who buy in a panic always win big? |

No, but if you do want to win big that is the best time to take a position. What is that old expression? "The faint of heart never won the fair maiden" Maidens are a dime a dozen, but good buying opportunities come very infrequently. |

No.
Those that trade with emotions very seldom make it, let alone make it big, they usually have more loosers than winners.
Emotions should never be a part of trading/investing. There's just no place for it.
A disciplined trade is a successful trader. |

I think so.
Like Warren Buffet said, "We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful." Look where he's now.. On the top of the Forbes list. |

Using the last 150 years or so of stock market data, the answer to your question is a resounding "yes", so long as the buyers aren't so short-sighted as to put all their eggs in one basket, as they say. Those answering your question by referencing Enron or Bear-Stearns obviously don't grasp that investing means buying shares in a broad range of companies and sectors. Buying stock in a single company is not investing, it is gambling! |

Win big?
Perhaps no, but they win consistently if they wait long enough.
This is a long term chart of the Dow Jones index
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=%5EDJI&t=my
in the long run it goes up, so if you are patient (sometimes it takes some years), yes buying on panic DIVERSIFIED indexes is profitable.
Buying on panic indicidual stocks is extremely risky (many people lose it all) because you may be buying companies about to go bankrupt (remember the dotcom bubble?) |

Not if you bought in the panic of 1929 -- though even then there were some short term gains before we entered the great depression.
It also depends where in the panic you buy. |

let's say you bought shares in Enron when it was dropping in a "panic" from around $90. you bought on this panic at $50, then again at $20, and again at $5. where would you be right now? down a whole lot of money. |

They forgot to show jp morgan buying bear sterns. for $2.00 when it was up tp $170.00
The big boys who know what they are doing do.
You will do well if you buy up only the top companys at good price. The big banks know how to manipulate the stock the market and force people into margin calls. Forced to sell. |
