CC, Here are my thoughts, FWIW: 1. Buy the stocks of companies that have the possibility of an internal rate of return that makes them undervalued today as operating businesses, whether they have gone up or down lately. I am a contrarian, so I look for battered stocks that I believe are better than they are priced. However, a growth stock investor who believes that a stock that has gone up will continue to grow at a certain rate on high quality eps can certainly make money using that style, too. But you are buying a co. that has a future stream of income, not a stock that has gone up because it is the flavor of the month or the flavor of the decade. 2. Buy fewer stocks during all time highs. If you want to play, do it with calls where there is more safety. techstocks.com. 3. Make your bigger bets against the crowd. 4. Whenever possible, risk little to gain a lot rather than use the herd approach of betting a lot to gain a little. MB
