DebraVogt: Tough market huh? Since you seem be to more of an investor than a trader it's a bit difficult to try to answer your question. I am very cautious because I've seen so many stocks (even of good COMPANIES) decline sharply. Will this be the "buy 'em on the dip" that has worked so well for so long, or something different? It's my sense that it's "something different" this time...and until the market tells me otherwise, I shall remain cautious. If you don't but and stocks fly, well its an "opportunity cost." I can live with that. But if you buy and they continue down, you see your capital dwindle. I prefer to avoid this...at all costs. Remember the Cardinal Rule: "You Gotta Stay in Business." (Lee)

Debra, you might like this article. It may offer some additional advise for people like yourself. Just remember, you can't get seriously hurt if you set your stops and alerts. I've bought several dozen stocks in the past two days that are up significantly from my purchase cost. If I had waited I'd have missed a great money making opportunity. If I had sold too quickly, more potential lost. I'm watching them closely. I hope they turn out to be great position and longer term sells. If not, I'll exit with significantly more profit than the "zero" profit I'd have had by not buying. For me, the risk on the downside was nearly zero (stops and quick sells if the stocks turned against me) and the upside could be many 100's of percentage points. Heck, some are already up in excess of 60%. moneycentral.msn.com
