We’re probably looking at a short term buy opportunity with a dead cat’s bounce. I have co-workers who are saying things like “with the market so low, maybe I should put more in my IRA”.

I’d say if we get down to 1000 or so it’s a great buy opportunity. That would be another 9% from where it closed today, and if that happens I’m throwing as much cash as I can at the market.

Not voting and doing nothing is a great way to support the status quo.

There are tons of third-party candidates, many of whom are on the ballot in most states. If someone doesn’t like either of the major party candidates, it sends a much stronger message to vote 3rd party rather than not vote.

On top of that, in California and San Diego there are always a lot of dumb propositions on the ballot to vote no to. (Can we do away with the proposition system yet, or at least reform it?). There’s always at least one that is close to a 50-50 split, so even if your vote doesn’t seem to count on the Presidential election, there are other issues it does matter.

There’s a huge medium-term buying opportunity brewing. I wouldn’t pull the trigger yet, but now is when you put together your “buy list” of undervalued stocks. Target good companies with solid profits that have been unfairly punished with the rest of the market. Nothing with subprime and Alt-A exposure, but stuff like AA, MCD, BUD… even GE, which does have financial exposure, but is a good company with a long history.

At some point, the knife will stop falling, and it will be time to buy.

(To be clear, that time is not now!)
