It is certainly difficult to buy at this point but this thread may very well be right that this is a unique opportunity. Let me throw out a few related questions for discussion - 1) Given that we are coming up to preannoucement period, when does one invest relative to this period? Usually we see negative announcements during this period and often this pushes the market down. Would it be better to wait until the end of the month to get through this period? 2) Investing in the total stock market would certainly be a reasonable way to invest at this time. But I suspect the real gains are to be had by investing in the right sector/category. Is the flight to quality going to continue and large caps going to continue to be the winners? Or are we going to see a rotation? What are the "beaten-down" blue chips? -- Alan
