How do you plan to capitalize on the correction?

I don't have any money vested in the market at the moment so I'm not concerned with whether there will be a correction or not, but would like to capitalize on it if one occurs.

How can you start to notice the bottom when it starts to fall? What stocks/industries are likely to see a quick rebound?

Risk off allocations.

IT's not about noticing a bottom, it's about buying in at a cheap valuation.

Financials do well on the front end of recoveries. I don't know what you define as "a major stock market correction", though.

Oil & Gas are the most likely to rebound faster IMO. See previous recessions and crashes. But we live in different times so that might help very little. But just my opinion its Oil & Gas/Commodities.

To be honest I'm not sure what I would define as a major market correction. Maybe stocks down more than 15-20% in a few months.

What got me thinking about this was an article in the Reveille that had referenced an economist, Robert Wiedemer, who thinks the market is bound to see a correction as large as 90% (worst case scenario).

Correction or no correction, I think energy (XLE) and financials (XLF) will benefit from a Romney win. If it looks like he will be the winner I may put a little to work there. Thoughts?

I'd go with CMG based on their stock price and quality of food.

What, you don't like the traces of saw dust in the magic meat mixture at the Bell?

True story: after having my first doritos taco (drunk at ~2:30 AM), I immediately got on the computer and used all my cash to buy YUM. Didn't realize I did that until about a month ago, since I did it in my non trading account.
