Looks like things could not get any worse Eh? April Fools! IMHO the markets will start to move back Up shortly once Everyones poor earnings have come out. Then, guess what? Investors will start buying stocks again because ALL of the stocks will be having bad earnings. Speculation will start to abound as to which stocks will start to show improvements first and as you know, speculation breeds investment. After looking at the action today I think that I did the right thing by not even looking at it but there ARE lots of opportunities out there for short term and long term gains, Still. Just be careful and make sure that your stops are in place and move them Up as your stock gains and do not try and guess the bottom of a stock that is dropping. Same old Same old advice that I often do not take myself <gg>. If you really want to have some fun with the markets as they are then just take a vacation, have some fun, relax with some friends. It's Summertime! Go to the beach, go to the mountains, take a break and enjoy yourself however you please! The stocks will always be there for you to play with. The Great Days that you are missing by getting frustrated trying to watch every tick of the markets will just fade away. I think that is one of the lessons that I learned from last year. If you are not sure which way your stocks or the markets are going then cash out and spend the money on something FUN! Once the patterns in the markets have become more predictable then once again the stocks will be there for you. I hope that you have been doing well and that all of your assets are singing "Not Fade Away". Sincerely, bbgold :^)
