Great article - thanks. Very timely post in my view. I find myself by far more fully invested than I've been at any time in the last two years - and that was not true a month ago. Every stock I own is probably going lower tomorrow, but that is exactly what it will feel like on whatever day happens to be the bottom of this collapse. I used to make market calls on this thread, years ago, but thats silly and I was never right. I buy when I have good ideas, I get fully invested when I have a lot of really really compelling ideas. I've seen buy ideas like this twice since I got going in 1995. March of 2000 and September of 2001. Both were great times to be buying the kinds of stocks we buy, though at both times we were in agony over losses from what we already owned and there was no reason whatsoever other than valuation to buy then. I'm learning that its not about making market calls, its about knowing when you're seeing a whole lot of compelling buys at the same time and knowing when you're not finding anything.
