Hi Test

wait it out

This is not the best time to enter in the market
This is also not ther best time to exit the market
Wait for 700 billion dollar package by US, 350 billion dollar package by UK and various packages by other countries.
Then exit from your portfolio, because after that do not expect speedy gains for the next one year

Leave it where it is---its too late to move it into fixed rate holdings. If anything move money out of fixed rate holdings back into the market and ride the tide up.

Above all else, VOTE REPUBLICAN!!!

This whole mess was caused by the recklessness of Chris Dodd, Charles Schumer, and Barney Frank!!!!

We need to send our govt a signal that such incompetence cannot be rewarded by giving them more power!!!!

Obama has a huge agenda that will further hurt our economy:

Raising capital gains taxes!
Employee Free Choice Act!
Big cash giveaways to ACORN to support further erosion of the election integrity (Did you know that the Democrat Governor in Washington won by only 133 votes, and a year later it was discovered that ACORN had the states largest voter register fraud!)

Plenty of credible sources listed below: EDUCATE YOURSELF!!! THE ONLY REAL SOLUTION!!!


Derek (Steelers, SB champs)
No. Stay in there for the long term.

no way don't sell now....as soon as the roller coster over buy.buy buy


unlikeanything666
yeah don't pull out. everyone in this situation pulls out and that sends the market plummeting. if the market crashes it wont matter if you pulled your money because the value of the U.S. dollar would be almost nil anyway. basically hoping for the best is all you can do. unless maybe you have hundreds of thousands tied up then maybe your best bet would be to exchange for foreign currency or move to another country or buy lost of assets now and hope you can sell them after the market rebounds how ever many years down the road that will be.

If you have additional cash to invest, buy slowly. Little by little. Don't invest it all in one trade.

So if the market continues to dip, you're buying more as it goes down. If you don't have extra cash though, the best thing to do is stay where you are. Don't liquidate. History shows that in past crashes, stock/mutual fund values rebounded anyways, inside of a year and a half to two years.

don't sell or get out coz you'll "actualize" the loss.
Good luck!

Dear Jackie:
The most important part of investing is to avoid losses, or limit them. Its too late, you lost your 24%, but from this point it would be absolutely nuts to keep your money in the market until there is a bull market. The fact is no one knows if the market will go down, up sideways for how much and how long, but its pretty simple to figure out if you are in a bull market or bear market. Take your money out wait for a bull market and then invest well and cut your losses if you invest. Do you really think things will suddenly become "good" next week? Maybe in a year and a half there will be something new fueling the bull market/economy.

wait and watch

my brother and my uncle have lost huge amounts of there investments too. What they said is to wait the situation coming back.

Do you believe the economy will EVER recover? If you do, then the smart thing to do is BUY MORE while things are on sale.

If you don't, then you should sell everything and buy bullets, canned food & bottled water!

You only lose if you sell. If you hang on till after the dust settles, and your company (s) doesn't go belly up... you will have a lot of stock in rising companies.


linlyons
consider yourself lucky. the market is down 35%.

keep in mind, I DON'T KNOW, but i think i'd not sell now. we've no idea when the market will go up, but when it does, it will likely be too fast for you to get in at the bottom. and probably not even where it is now. however, i'm dumb enough that i let someone else manage my stocks, and i'm something like 60% cash today. again, where did i start this? "I don't know."

however, as for <<Above all else, VOTE REPUBLICAN!!! This whole mess was caused by the recklessness of Chris Dodd, Charles Schumer, and Barney Frank!!!!>>

get over it. republicans have been in control of congress for 12 years, and have filibuster control of the senate even today. they can try to shift the blame all they want. only their fauxlies faithful are believing it.

or, If you're rich, vote republican, they'll help you keep it. If you want to be rich, vote democrat, they'll help you get there.

it's absolutely astounding how many folks think that they got tax cuts. it's like McCain's health care proposal. give you a $5k tax credit to go out and purchase $15k in health insurance, if the insurance company wants to insure you. and they'll drop you once they see you're starting to cost them money.

First unless the companies associated with the investments have gone bankrupt you have not yet lost anything. You actually lose when you sell, until then, the value of your investments is down, but they will recover.

If you have time until you need the investments, wait. Heck, if you bought a solid company at $50 and it is at $37, I'd consider buying more. Personally I figure I have 20 or 25 years until I am going to retire. I would start looking for good things to buy if I had available cash .

That said I would think that you might want to consult with a professional. This might be a financial planner, a broker or your tax person. If you are all of those things for yourself, then decide how long you have until you need the money, determine what other funds you have available and decide what your strategy will be for both the short and longer term. The current situation requires that we all CALMLY consider where we are.

As to the advice to listen to the economists or to ignore the so called "big boys", each has its place. H. Ross Perot asked us if we ever knew a rich economist. Many of these professionals are guessing too. We need to listen to the professionals, read the news and make decisions for ourselves.


WE ARE TOTALLY F***ED!
I know this sounds crazy but just hang in there. The pandemic credit crisis is not a short episode by any means but given the global effort to mitigate further deterioration is unprecedented (no thanks to dubya of course). Most economists believe we will get through this in 18 months.

Wishing you the best

well first of all i would stop letting big boys play with your money. do your own investing. secondly, stop investing in big gambling charades like the stock market.. enough people have lost tons of money since the great depression.. save up and buy a subway franchise or something.
