'For every buyer there's a seller' that to me doesn't mean that investors are competing against each other, as in one party must be right and the other guy must be wrong. People have different reasons for buying or selling, different timeframes for holding, different alternative choices for their money, etc. I've been buying some stocks recently and hold little cash, so I must believe short-term losses either aren't going to be as severe as the market says with the stocks' prices now low (historically), or else that the companies (majority of companies) I'm buying/holding will eventually be able overcome those losses. To some extent also, for some companies, if the company could just endure and maintain their dividend, that would be okay with me, I tell myself.

fwiw. right now im trying to buy beaten down shares with good operaters. i bought IEP and Starwood for the first time. I sold some puts in Dell hoping those puts would get exercised. I took a risk buying NRZ as it tanked, hoping that as a very large mortgage servicer it is a likely survivor. they are facing what is pretty much a liquidity issue and I suspect that if they dont get help from the feds on people not paying their mortgages because of a federal exemption they might just claim force majeure and not make the payments to the investors. just speculation on my part. I am not as smart as the people who manage that company, we will see. another issue that hasnt been addressed yet are the huge revenue shortfalls that states and municipalities will suffer how that will affect the economy. I have no answers to that.
