What are you buying now? Looks like a market turn around may be close.

gizelle, re: I try to "be the crowd" in today's market. My days of buying a stock just because it was undervalued produced nothing but a portfolio of perpetually undervalued stocks. Strange, I have had just the opposite experience. Every time I try to run with the crowd, I find myself going where the crowd has been. Crowds mostly leave trash and smashed grass in their path. On the other hand, I have had good success buying smashed grass and holding it until it sprang back. By the time the next crowd tramples on to the scene, I am usually gone. I believe the oil-service stocks have been trampled by the market recently but will spring back one day in the future. Here's hoping they just aren't trash. -Robert
