ParticipantIf you don’t have personal liquidity to survive for 6-12 months, you could have a problem.
Really scary scenario:
a) Market closes for trading for days like currently in Russia.b)Banks close until a plan is created to “save everyone” (Like no planes flying for a few days after 9/11)
c)ATM & Debit cards aren’t valid
d)Govt continuing to tell the world that we are fine and have a strong economy
e) Govt loaning $85 BILLION to a private company to save the economy from imminent collapse.
Be prepared for the worst, and hope that it doesn’t happen

Even DCA into the market on your own still has risks.Debating the buying power of CASH is a different story.
Taking any equity positions; stocks, bonds, preferreds, ALL have an element of risk to principal.
You have absolutely NO GUARANTEE of future of your statement balance. Regardless of the last 250 years of past results.
The market is a legalized pyramid scheme.
you CAN make money, but you can also lose.Dow down 449 today. NASDAQ down 109. Panic is setting in. There will probably be a rally based on lies, then the decline will resume.
Tens/Hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars of paper value (mental wealth) has disappeared, no different than house values from 2005.
There is no guarantee that it will return.

THINKING that it is, IS drinking the Kool-Aid.That’s exactly what they want everyone to believe.
Most people cannot figure their return if dollar cost averaging into CD’s.
That’s how they want to keep it.HLS

September 17, 2008 at 12:00 PM in reply to: I don’t claim to be an expert, but am looking for opinions #271706ParticipantYou are all drinking the Kool-Aid that the industry wants you to.
They want you to keep investing, and hope, wish and pray that it will be there when you need it.
They collect commissions and management fees all the way along, regardless of whether you ever make a dime. They get rich, withoout ANY risk.
They tell you that in the long run, it will go up.
Maybe it will and maybe it wont. NO guarantee.
I can guarantee you that in the long run you will be dead.The market is a casino.
We could be in a 10-20 year bear market. We could go in to a depression. The market could rally big.
Do you feel lucky ??
