Can you afford to loose it?

I'm planning on writing a blog on this at lunchtime. It might not be done until tomorrow morning tho.

Yeah, but it would really bum me out and keep us from buying a new house. (We're fine in our current house).

I think it would depend on what you invest in.

Do a risk assesment, does the (potential) benefit out weigh the (potential) risk. YOu stated you could afford the loss, and if the market rebounds you could make a small fortune, think about going half in

Not a crap load, but I am starting to move back in now on a limited basis. Only buying established companies that are in industries that would not be totally affected by the bad economy (e.g., health care, etc.) with P/E ratios under 8 taking into account their 4q earnings just reported. Even if market or these stocks go down in short term, they are still at historical bargain pricing based on a sub 8 P/E ratio.

Who you got with a P/E of 8?

Yea but many of those industies are tanking now because Obama said he was going to go after them so yesterday their stocks all took a big hit..

My Thoughts...
I am 24 years old. However my dad and grandfather have been investing for me before I was even born. I have now taken the reigns the past couple years. I did great up until last summer.. AND I KNEW TO GET OUT!!!
Right now my portfolio is beat to crap, BUT i have been actively buying and selling increasing my sharehold. Soooo if the market was to ever rebound I will come back stronger than before, OR SO I HOPE.
In my mind, its not a gamble to invest in the market as long as you invest in the right companies.
Good Luck!
