“period from 2000 to 2003”
IMO that is when the bear market SHOULD have begun – the markets would have corrected by now and we would likely have a healthy, growing economy today
instead, our politicians and bankers fueled the next bubbles by taking interest rates to 1% and holding them there
now we get to correct the original bull market plus the past 8 years of artificial stimulus
that is, unless they succeed in fueling another bubble even bigger than the equity and RE bubbles – I’m not holding my breath

Whether you lose $100 or $10,000 it’s the same feeling (I know). Why would you get in right now? Do you think it’s going to skyrocket? If so and you feel like you have a good pulse on the timing – consider options? To get the type of upside you want without risking a lot of dough. I still think a lot of shares are just going to disappear for the average shareholder..

January 31, 2009 at 5:41 PM #339452HLSParticipantWhy stop at 100% loss…. open a margin acct and lose more than 100% ~
It is possible to make money in the stock market, but it’s not a real profit until you actually sell and get out.
Until the next bull run, which could be 10 or 20 years, it’s just a legalized casino.
If the bull run is only 10 or 20 months away, you may do OK…
Do you feel lucky ?Writing options is a “conservative risky” way to generate income when you are right and a way to lose money when you are wrong.
Sounds like a casino to me !~ …HLS
