I knew when I got my year-end statements that there was going to be a correction. I did that well in 2013.
BTDT. BFD. YMMV.
^^^^^ This� Market had a 10% correction in 2011, and I think in 2012�though I might be wrong about that. We are still 700 points from a full 10% As soon as the chicken littles start running around screaming " The Sky is Falling"�you need to be buying.

As soon as the chicken littles start running around screaming " The Sky is Falling"�you need to be buying. This has historically been good advice. It's what the big shots do, and it's worked for them. Of course they are able to make themselves liquid in preparation for these nosedives in a way that most cannot.

A 5% correction does not make a 1929.
Don't ruin the alarmists fun. If things keep getting cheaper, keep buying, with the intentions to go long.

$5.00 silver, sure, if we make it back to a growth rate of 6% on the GDP, but that's not going to happen under the current administration. Or the next one either. Not unless we agree to restructure our debt and abandon this appalling failure known as Neo-liberalism. How much tax revenue we spend on food stamps and welfare checks doesn't really matter in the big picture. Will
Smellin' a lot of 'if' coming off this plan.

If there is anything that research has shown time and time again, it's that no one, and I mean no one, can accurately predict the market.

Should a person buy silver? If by silver you mean a silver plated colt, then by all means yes Picking old guns which may go up in value in five years is a lot more fun than picking stocks. But it's just as hard to do.

Warren didn't predict the market, in terms of whether it was going to rise or fall. His strategy was to buy good companies and hang onto them, which is the complete opposite of the guy who tries to time the market, moving in and out of stocks to take advantage of the "next move."

I believe Mr. Buffet once said, "if the market is scared, I'm buying. If the market is buying, I'm scared."

Need to buy good companies and hang onto them. Also buying when the market is low and the price is cheap. However, I am not saying that is easy. If it was easy we would all be rich.
