Did they bring a lighting crew with them?
Sorry to say anon, but it will probably get worse before getting better. My suggestion: take some off the table(enough for emergency). If it continues to go down, you will have some money you can access without taking a bath in the market. If it goes up, you still have most of it in play.
Diversify,diversify, diversify. One of two sectors may be down, while another sector is up. Have some gold or silver. If the unthinkable happens, at least you will have something. Now is not the time to be trying to make a killing in the market. Now is the time to try to survive.
Never all or nothing!!! Hedge : never have all your eggs in one basket, NEVER.
Google searched it - bullshit
Totally agree anon. Everyone must educate themselves about investing - take a finance course, learn to read financial statements.
No one will care about your money like you will.
Gold or silver coins, not ETF's or paper. Think of it as casualty insurance. Not a lot, but if everything goes to hell, the metals will soar and maybe bring you back to even. Use your common sense. Some cash in your IRA, some metal in your hand.
