ParticipantYep, exactly my point!
A guy stating that this is a good opportunity to buy more ultra short shares reminds me of the guy who just made 50K in 6 months flipping a condo,and then saying “gee, you know, I should try to flip 3 condos this next time around”
Usually when a it becomes a “no-brainer”, that’s when you get smacked against the head.
A true contrarian goes against the herd. For example: when I bought RIG at $12 a share, and oil was $10 a barrel. I’m sure the majority of the people were saying, “hey, I’m am doubling my short on oil stocks because I made a ton shorting thus far”
When I bought SRS at $25 I’m sure the majority of people were saying home prices would go up forever,and building homes is like printing money.
Pretty insane

ParticipantIf you were to put everything you have, and everything you will have in the stock market on really bad days like recently, and you need it in the next 2 to 3 years, I would agree with you. What I say is just keep buying every month. If the market is going to all time highs, maybe put a big portion to cash for pull backs such as what has happened recently. Remember stock prices go down fast and up fast. Just because you think the housing market is still going down, such as myself, it does not mean that stocks will follow the housing market in the same direction. It turns out that stocks do very well when the economy is actually in recession, but does really poorly right before it actually hits recession. Also, parts of the globe are doing very well in certain sectors. There is always a bull market somewhere. All depends on your time horizon. If you have decades of investment to go, just hold your nose a keep investing in the stock market. Find yourself very good mutual fund managers with long term and great performance records and keep putting money in. Be a real contarian and stop following the herd.

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.Participantyep, if you are in for the long term.
