I often here it quoted that a person who times the market has to be right twice, and by a lot of people that I think are super smart, but that simply isn’t true. You need to be right originally… like your friend, before the market goes down. After that, being right the 2nd time is easy. Buy back before the market overakes your selling point plus commissions and you have done better than you would by sitting still. You may need courage to buy back in when you think the market may go down more, but you don’t need to be “right” again.

Take some time off,then let yourself get unstressed. Go fishing, golfing, play pool, do something else that will let you have fun and take your mind off the markets. There are other things in this world then money.

Even during a period of Stock market crash, everyone who sells at the higher price before the crash gained. The buyers who bought at the crashed price gain if the price goes back up. Those buyers could also lose if the price keeps going down or the company goes out of business. Since prices go up and down every day there is no way to identify who wins or loses because of one crash. Remember some buyers buy over many years and may have dividends that more than make up for any one day of crash. People buy and sell for many reasons, like a guy who sells and then the stock goes up. Maybe he bought a new boat or bought another stock that went up even more.

Of course, you don’t want to marry a stock. Diversify and invest with in mutual funds or ETFs. You can double down on stocks as long as you’re diversifying.

I don’t agree with your advice to do nothing when the market crashes. I say first decide if have enough money to live on if you lose your job. Then throw the rest of the money in the stock market once it falls 40% or more from its peak. Those are some great buying opportunities. That’s what I did, and it worked.

Hahaha, what a piece of bull, this is kind of con game article that’s has been circulating ever since the inception of the mutual fund investing for suckering uneducated investors in. Yes, stocks eventual do go up, but it’s literately a ponzi scheme, where the initial schemers and insiders already know when to pull the plug, and the retail investors always get the short end of the stick. Notice that stock has to go up because the paper money value over a long period of time keeps going lower and lower, so how’s that gonna make anybody any money when your one dollar is worth a lot less in next ten year’s time? Besides, the stock is a non physical paper note or a digital blip, nothing more, you are paying your hard earned money into this gigantuan con and you have no control over when the insiders gonna do to your money. These people know what much you pay for the stock and how much they would cut you under. The underlying value, PE ratio, fundamentals of the company is irrelevent, because it’s all an illusion and cooked books. I rather buy an antique then buy a piece of stock of which it has not value whatsoever….. but …..shhhhh….. don’t tell that to the million of 401k suckers…..

There’s a global food shortage in case you haven’t heard.

Global food shortage + global financial meltdown + natural disaster or a big September 11th type attack will render all of of the financial assumptions listed above as worthless… financial planners the world over will be wheeling their wheelbarrows full of their share market portfolio certificates around, desperately hoping to trade paper for food.

If you want to eat stock certificates then that’s your business but if I had money to invest right now I’d buy grain and then gas it so it can be stored for the medium to long term. Then I’d quietly go about my modern Western lifestyle, suffering on through this downturn, knowing that my investment is actually worth something compared to the hype of shares.
