Participantyep, if you are in for the long term. Buy aggressively on big down days. That last thing you want to do is sell.
Now it would be smart to sell something today, if you have wanted to do so recently. Take a little of the table if you no longer believe in that particular stock or mutual fund. Just dollar cost average your 401K dollars, and max in your contributions. Really bad markets are a gift if you have decades to invest.March 11, 2008 at 12:44 PM #167787blackbox

ParticipantI’m kicking myself for not following through and buying yesterday, but then again, this is a just a FED “plan”.
It still scares when an “idea” sends the stock market up 3%. Short covering maybe? Quick buy and sell? I don’t know, but I’d be surprised if it’s all uphill from here.

ParticipantIf the housing market is affecting the economy so bad, then I would hesitate buying tech stocks or auto stocks/hard good stocks, retail. People, I would think, will be tightening their purse strings. They ones that don’t walk away will need every red cent to pay the mortgage/bills. I’m not even sure what stocks would be a good investment. Pharma will probably lose some VC.
