When to get back into market?

[moneymaker]

Why is it that people have to leave an organization before they can say what they really feel/think.

I’m still amazed that doomsayers exist on this board despite all the years of what we’ve gone through and years and years of how the Fed are expert can kickers.

Warning: adopting a doomsayer viewpoint can be hazardous to one’s financial health. It’s almost as destructive as being a perma-bull.

I believe you may have a negativity bias. This is about data, not doom.

Things that are said that may be contrary to your beliefs (political or otherwise) are not necessarily negative.

This a former (recently) fed official telling you the fed is running out of options.

This is a fed official telling you the fed goosed the markets.

It is what it is…

I was talking to a trader at BlackRock this weekend (don’t ask how),
She was saying the whole china devalue thing and the Shanghai market sell off is way overblown and it is really just a normal adjustment to the dollar strength (much as the Greece situation was overblown), (Just makes great headlines and sells news feeds).

No offense, but I recall a time when you were telling people how horrible it was to own a home in temecula and how the world iin riverside was crashing down to an abss, and then when prices started going up, you quickly flipfloppd your opinion. So i don’t think any of that was based on data, but rather emotions.

well, again, I think erroring on the side of caution isn’t a bad thing. Just don’t let the negativity lead you down a rat hole. How many people here were expecting 50% off in Carmel Valley/Del Mar/LJ after already seeing a 25% decline? And yet they still waited for an additional 50+%?

None of this really matters over the longer period if I think you just remain consistent.

Now looks pretty good. Seems the knife has finished falling. Unless this is a dead cat bounce?

[scaredyclassic]

I try to eat most of our veggies before I get back in the market.

Let’s hope so. Chaos is opportunity.

“Sell everything.”

That harrowing advice is from The Royal Bank of Scotland, which has warned of a “cataclysmic year” ahead for markets and advised clients to head for the exit. Do not wait. Do not pass go.

Scotland might be brave, but it’s not always right.

Cool. Once we get a couple more of these it’s a good indicator it’s time to buy.

Thank god I paid off my house instead if staying in the markets completely.

Maybe I’ll move back in in Feb or March.

Good for you flu, It looks like no one is buying stocks, they are buying powerball tickets instead.

Our powerball fund at work hit an all-time high LOL.

I am still out of the market unless we get a 35-50% decline then I will start to move in again, But I don’t think that will happen, not seeing what everyone else is maybe but I see no good reason for the sell off.

But at the same time I don’t see a good reason for it to go up much either.
