There are some outstanding bets right now for the long term investor. Most blue chips can be had at a great price. If you can hold on to them for another 18 months or so the cycle should be complete. As far as a put, I am betting that Airbus and BMW have peaked and will go down when the next round of layoffs is announced. Gold should remain strong for the next 12 months as a hedge against inflation, but could sink as much as $100.00 an ounce by next June. Historically, when the USD comes back gold will drop like a sack of potatoes and that presents some great opportunities to buy. The US dollar is also a good buy in my book right now.
Most economists see this market cycle continuing through the next quarter. The US will have a new president in January of 2009 and the market should respond positively. However, I believe that it will take some time, at least until June of 2009 to see real market recovery.
There should be some solid opportunities in real estate over the next 18 months as prices decline. If you want a good model do some research into the Savings and Loan collapse in the late 1980's. There will most likely be some changes in hedge funds and that is a good thing in my opinion.
I like Boeing, Disney, IBM, Apple, Honeywell, etc. The major banks have already written down most of the bad paper so I see some bargains there in BOA and JPM Chase. |

Stocks in general have really gone down too far too fast and are due for a decent bounce, especially with the FED coming up to bat at the end of the month with a 50 bpt cut.
If you want to avoid investment decisions based on emotions, then set up a plan to diversify your investments and adjust them regularly to keep them in balance.
Its easy to say buy bonds if a recession is imminent, but bonds have absolutely been on a bullish tear lately and should not be overweighted...they can just as easily retrace. Keep your balance and good luck! |

Only a crystal ball will tell the answer..
There is an old expression..Keep your powder dry, which means save your cash until there is a DEFINITE upward bias in the market before committing any new funds.
Why take a risk? It's better to miss a few points on the upside than to give a lot of points on the downside.
Too many unknowns (politics, oil, sub prime, elections, etc) to be investing new money right now..
Give it 6 months or more and wait for the trend to change.
The trend is your friend !! |

I think in six months time you will hear folks saying they wished they had bought both property and stock while the market was falling. |

I wouldn' t touch the stock market with a ten foot pole. The foreclosure situation will be worse and will drag the economy into recession. That goes for the whole year of 2008. |

Ask yourself a simple question. Did you do your homework on XYZ company? Was it a good buy at $10?
Well, today its $5. Did it run out of goods to sell? Did all the coal/oil/wheat/whatever get stolen overnight? Was there a scandal, bookkeeping error?
If nothing serious has changed except the stock's price, its time to back up the truck and load up, assuming you can hold long enough for XYZ to return to "normal". I love to buy things when they're half-off. |

Oh man, I wish I knew when the exact bottom was, I'd quit my day job and stay home and trade all day!
However, I'm not nearly that good, so I'll tell you what I have been doing. I raised some cash late in 2007, and made a list of a bunch of companies I'd like to own if they went down a lot. In the last week or two, I just now put small positions on in KDN and LAYN, which I believe can go much higher if I have the balls to hang onto them for the next year or two. If we continue to see declines, I may put some more cash to work as well, possibly in FTEK or GEX maybe. FCX and AAPL have come down nicely too, I've had my eye on those as well. But don't put all your money to work at once, try to gradually buy more stock on the way down. |

How Much longer will the market drop?
No one knows the answer to this part of your Q.
If the way your account is set-up AND your broker will allow it, you can go short. OR you can buy Put options OR do Covered Calls.
PROPERLY learning and PROPERLY using any of these strategies - and others - could add money to your account.
Thanks for asking your Q! I hope I could help give you other alternatives.
VTY,
Ron Berue
Yes, that is my real last name! |

Now is probably not a good time. There is a lot of speculation that the market will improve again after the election, hopefully it will.
However, I'm a little worried that we are looking at a long-term decline, depression and possible collapse even. (In which case maybe it is important to make decisions and purchases now, planning ahead). This is in anticipation for the decline of oil production, which is happening in this decade and one way or another will at least greatly affect our economy, read about it here: http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/ |
