IMO, that is the single most difficult part of playing the GG. It is excruciatingly tempting to do something when the market is volatile, even though experience shows that more often than not it will wind up being the wrong thing. Quite true, UF. Best to keep a journal of "what if I had done this" or "what if I hadn't done this" to track over the longer term (a decade or two) of what the results would be. In most cases, doing nothing works out quite well. For investors who have monthly or quarterly new money to put to work, buying additional shares in those 'impatient' times are good long term bets. If you run a check as to how far some of the technology companies have come off of their lows in the last few weeks, you'll find some that have increased 40, 50, 60, 70% already. It will be nice to look back in 5 years.... BB
