The day it bounces off of its "V" bottom will be one the best days in terms of percentage gain to be invested.

Delphic, that is absolutely correct. Anyone with a calculator and 15 minutes to plug in potential scenarios can see what a difference it makes to get in as close as possible to the bottom.

For example, lets say a stock is going to run to 10. Today it is at 3. Wednesday it is at 2. Friday afternoon it hits 1. Monday morning it gaps up to 3. . .the following Thursday it reaches $5. . .where it consolidates for a month until it finally makes a move to 10. . . . . . [before getting halted and sent to the pink sheets. . <G>]

Consider how important it was to grab the stock on Friday afternoon, as opposed to Wednesday. . .today or waiting until Monday or later. Assuming you sold when it hit $10. . . .your gains would be as follows:

Friday=+10X
Wednesday=+5X
Monday or today =+3.3X
After Next Thursday=+2X

Add to the this the lack of risk at $1, when compared to the risk taken when buying at $5. . .on a sudden selloff. . . and you have quite an argument for buying as low as possible.
