Hey Airelon, I loved your ion engine analogy. At first, i thought it was something from star trek, but then I wikipediaed it and realized that its real, lol

In my opinion, buying and holding is great right now in BRIC markets and some Asian countries like HK, SK and Taiwan.  Some induvidual stocks have like 10% dividend yields and low P/E ratio. 10% yield DRIP is UBER.

What do you think?

this one is going down but buy it when it bottoms............VALE......c­heck it out. I sold it a month ago, but I'll but it again when the down/sandp takes another shit

[fox20012]

I'm getting ready to put a shit load of money into the stock market, I'm waiting for the markets to start heading down again and look for a good buying opportunity.

[fostereric]

make sure you short the dollar at the same time, if you're putting it into US stocks. gotta be hedged against currency devaluation.

[fox20012]

I brought a heap of precious metals that should hedge against the dollar crisis. But I should be OK cause I'm going to put it on a Australian stock.

metal sare going down dude

[fox20012]

WTF r u trying to say, just say it

Thats what markets do, they don't go straight up and they don't go straight down.

They are still 20 percent higher than what I brought them for any ways.

[ohio1998]

um, id sell while your ahead. I'm metalLESS.

[fox20012]

Hmm.... as long as the bond market fundamentals are bad I will hold my metals, and trade the etf rallies, whats your macro Trade if you don't thinks its metals ?

[ohio1998]

go ahead, but what happend the last time the credit markets froze...............

I'm going to save cash and pay off debt. when and opportunity arises, I'll place my bets. Right now I'm OUT.

[AirelonTrading]

I wouldn't say you're "out".

After all, cash is a position. So you're in the markets, you're just building cash.

:^P

Out of stocks, into beer. :)

[harshterrain]

If you're going long i'd wait for a significant pull back.

The problems with the economy as i see it are as follows.

~ Unemployment high and rising

~ Wages dropping for salaried and non salaried.

This will result in the following.

~ More home foreclosures

~ Less disposable income

In addition to this banks are holding onto toxic assets both residential and commercial.

I'm short the market via inverse ETFs.

[fox20012]

According to a graph I have the next wave of housing foreclosures starts this month June.

Looks likes a good chance that the rest of this year will see the DOW and other indices's heading back down again with Bank failures or bad news.
