Who knows the bottom or top? Better to cultivate more risk tolerance and wait untill the circumstance turn out to be positive as far as our investment is concerned. I would prefer not to loose my hard earned money by selling at low, any idea? Lisa Hedge Fund Jobs

Start taking bites out of the stocks you want now IF you have:

* extra cash on hand or can borrow for less than the dividend payed
* tolerance if the stock drops another 20-50%
* 5-10 year horizon
*consumer debt is minimal

Good Luck

Now is an excellent time to buy! It’s so low, and if you look at trends over the past 10-15 years, these dips are very normal. What goes down, must go up and vise versa. Whatever you do, PLEASE don’t sell now as you’d be losing money.

“Personal finance bloggers have been saying that evaluating your reaction to the current market tells you how risk averse you are. If you’re panicking right now, in the future it’s probably best to keep a large fixed-income portion in your portfolio and stay very diversified. If you’re able to ride this out without getting too excited, you’re probably a more risk-tolerant investor.”

What if you are giddy with the huge drops this market experiences every odd day!?

Look forward and pick your future – do you think capitalism is dead or just experiencing a ‘hard reset’?
If you foresee a future without capitalism than get your money under the mattress.

My view is not so radical therefore, I am slowly picking the stocks I want to hold until the next period of irrational exuberance.

One of my moats involves dividends – I focus on stocks that should continue to pay solid dividends even if the increases are temporarily on hold.

See opportunity where others see disaster.
