This thread discusses a LTBH investing strategy, and that is this threads focus. duh..i'm a long term investor. So long that i can't stand when people talk about the short term and say, "Yay...stocks are up today." I think, crap..another buying opportunity missed. One Godzilla, one Gorilla, and one Prince. right, and even though Yahoo or a Dell is not a gorilla, their earnings will effect ALL gorillas in the short term. Yes i'm a long term investor, but when i buy it is very important to me. The index (or market) is up. The index (or market) is down. The NASDAQ is more up and down than the S&P 500 or the DJII. Yes i know this and i was just making the point that just cause we're up over 270+ points in one day that it doesn't mean this is the end of the bear market. Just pointing that out. That said, i don't make short term predictions. I don't know how and according to Buffet...it's almost impossible.
