Most people like a sale. The best thing successful investors have going for them is investor pyschology. When the market is down, panick selling sets in. When the market is going up, people jump into the market. When this happens, many investors are already on their way to the bank with their profits. It is difficult for many people to invest when the markets are down. Somehow, these people seem to feel the economy and the markets will never rebound. History has repeatedly shown that the economy rebounds from recession. The low prices in the stock market may not be repeated for 5, 10, 15, or 20 years once the economy improves. Why not take advantage of the sale prices.

Posted by whatithink10 at 06:34 PM : Nov 13, 2008-------Personal ambition creates wealth, not socialist tyranny of any kind,.....especially economic.

Let me see if I have this right: it is the greed (sorry, "personal ambition") of those misguided Scandinavians like the Norwegians and the Danes that enables them to enjoy the highest standard of living AND quality of life in the western world despite the active role of the governments they elect in their economies, right?

Bargain hunters... bull... 900 pt fluctuations are cause by manipulators using sophisticated computer algorithms... the ordinary investor does not cause shifts of this magnitude.. these manipulators need to be regulated.

Finally a post that makes some sense. Thanks for stating the obvious as most posting here seem to be blind to the dark side of this situation. Ride the wave my A$$, this whole thing is out of a bad novel and I''m afraid of the last chapter. Hang on people we''re ready to start the E ride. "God Speed USA"
