What did people say on this board back in March ?I’m pretty sure there were few suggesting to buy stocks.

There weren’t that many, I floated a plan on March 5th, got more voting against it than for it. There are a couple of stock minded folks here but not many, we are mostly dart throwers (with a couple of exceptions, chris, stan, etc.). Here’s the March 5th plan in all it’s glory, read who’s predictions were right and who predicted we’d be eating spam by now.

and a little update how much money I’d have today if I hadn’t listened to the advice of bloggers and expert authors.
HOG 8.33 to 16.79 1k= 2,015
GE 7.06 to 11.76 1k= 1,665
F 1.70 to 5.78 1k= 3,400
HOV .58 to 2.45 1k= 4,224
COST 38.98 to 46.20 1k= 1,185
MO 15.72 to 16.50 1k= 1,0496k invested March 6th would be worth over 13k today, I could have recouped my initial investment and just played with house money from here on out. Will there be another pullback, I hope so, but I fear Eugene has a point, I may have missed the best buying opportunity in recent times.
My advice, do your own research, trust your gut, turn off your targeting computer and use the force Luke.
It’s a damn good thing these same bloggers saved me 300k on my house or I’d be really pissed.

June 29, 2009 at 8:53 PM #422143air_ogiParticipantIf you feel confidant about Altria’s future, California’s Tobacco securitization bonds at 10% tax-free yield seems like a much better investment, unless you are worried about significant inflation.
I would be very careful with REITs. They had a huge run, most of it not supported by fundamentals.
I would not trust zerohedge either. Tyler is like Rush Limbaugh of financial news. You should not invest money based on a echo chamber noise.June 29, 2009 at 8:53 PM #422372air_ogiParticipantIf you feel confidant about Altria’s future, California’s Tobacco securitization bonds at 10% tax-free yield seems like a much better investment, unless you are worried about significant inflation.

I also got long in march but pulled the trigger once we got over 900 on the S&P so I left some money on the table, that’s ok. I’m short in a small way and short REITs, market is priced too high of a PE right now, only perfection can result in a significant bounce over 1000 ( or the Obama admistrations continued buying of S&P 500 calls). Personally think buy and hold died last fall for many years to come. IMHO.
