Great thread! I'm mostly a learning lurker & printer as well.

I would say to beginners that today has to be a prime example of what to always beware of. Don't get burnt badly by a tanking mkt! I'm not a daytrader but today any daytrader & perhaps very short term trader, would have been well advised to end yestdy in cash. A badly falling mkt can occur suddenly & with little if any forewarning, so I rest much better at nite if I know the next AM is not going to fall apart.

Personally I am mostly in small caps which I am confident have good fundamentals. These may not make me rich quickly but they don't tend to dive along with major mkts. I expect to move more into big caps but will be very cautious of overnite holds.

More knowledgeable & experienced investors/traders please correct me where you think I am speaking incorrectly. Wouldn't want my words to be causing false alarm or wrong impressions.

Call me cautious.
