Right now I'm seeing so many people who have stopped even looking at companies because they've become overly conditioned by the downside and there is a lot of fear, a lot of cynicism. It's sad because amongst the rubble there are always good stories. When everything looks terrible is when you actually have an opportunity to make some real money. Right now people are so negative that even a company with great growth and strong price appreciation is seen not as a potential investment but as something that hasn't gone down yet or as something that perhaps has been fraudulent in their reporting. This is the environment where a good stock picker with the ability to cut through BS can really excel. What sectors do you like now? I picked some good ones in the october downdraft but mostly they were chips, now I think that may not be the sector of choice. Software is coming into range again, I like epny but in the 3s. What are you buying? L

It is sad in a way. There are still many good companies out there. But because a company is good and may even have good fundamentals, it doesn't mean that it is the right time to buy their stock. Even good companies get hit in a bear market. We shouldn't be looking for fair valued companies, we should be looking for under valued companies. And there are very few of those.
