Stay invested, if the market crashes then even the money under your matress will be worthless. No point in bailing at the age of 25 you got a long term horizion, put in more now and watch it grow. |

I sure hope so.
I just invested $17,000 yesterday and my stock went up. I made $30 today. I want it to go down so I can buy more stock cheap. They say buy when there's blood in the street. I want more blood so I can buy a lot more stock really cheap.
Frankly the whole economy looks very sick. The government and everybody else have been living on money they borrowed from each other. I'm also buying gold. I knew people who used gold to buy rice in a concentration camp. Try that with mutual funds.

Stick with your plan. Called "averaging." Will pay off in the long term. |

Keep investing. The market won't do much for the next 3-6 months, but then it'll start to come back and by the time the others are buying, they'll have lost out on lots of profits.
I'm putting every spare dime into stocks....there are many undervalued stocks. |

I'd have to agree with the other post, keep investing at your normal rate, if not more if possible. The markets appear to be nearing at least a short-term bottom, as they have been shrugging off bad economic data (like the market being up 3.5% today despite the announcement of the worse than expected jobs data, the worst in 34 years). Such moves indicate that the market may have discounted much of the bad news that has yet to come, meaning we could be nearing the bottom and a gradual rebound could come. Either way, the dowside on the S&P 500 is limited to about 600 in the worst case scenario, which represents a 30% decline from current levels. If it does happen to do that, you should be grateful, as while you will be losing in the short-term, your 401k will benefit greatly in the long-run from the reduced cost basis you will achieve, especially given your age. You've already suffered large losses from this year's decline, we're likely closer to the bottom than the top, the cards are now stacked in your favor, why pull out now and risk missing out on a move higher? Just some thoughts, I hope they help.
Best of luck! |

it already has!!!
think of it this way, your 401k is a probabaly a 50 year investment at this point. you have already gotten crushed on the big move down. what is a gread depression II downside - 50% with S&P at 400? maybe. what's the upside between now and 50 years from now? probabaly thousands of %. its still a good scenario for you to stay long from a risk reward persepctive.
your real risk is that the US loses the dollar like a third world country. I think in 5 years it could get crushed but i think there would be a massive tax increase and belt tightening.
so forget it for now and believe in the USA, stay long for your retirement. and don't puke it up if we go down 30,40 or 50% |

What do you call a DJIA intraday high of 14,280 points on October 11, 2007 to 7,500 points two weeks ago, November 21, 2008? |

You are right. It is called "Dollar Cost Averaging".
Where were those people to tell you to sell when the market was above 14,000?
Why do most people want to sell low and buy high?
But don't tell them to change. Just smile and say yes and do the opposite. That is making me rich. |
