Answer 4

Many people in this market are moving 20-30% of their money out of stock and into actual gold for maximum portfolio diversification.  This strategy is the key to successful investing for the long term.  It helps preserves your capital and gets at least some of your investment funds out of shrinking U.S. Dollars and out of the volatility of the stock market and into gold, which is not tied to any currency or country.  You should talk to a Capital Gold Group Precious Metals Specialist at 800-510-9594 and they can help you understand how it works.  Visit their website at www.safeasgold.com and click on "Gold Market News".

Answer 5

I'm actually doing pretty well but I'm a trader and not a hold and hoper.  Most people don't properly diversify there portfolio and load up too much on certain stocks.  If you're not diversified buy some gold and oil stocks or you can just make sure you have covered calls on your positions which gives you some downside protection.

Answer 6

Haven't been crushed, but had to be nimble more so lately,

There are many bargins out there, you just have to get and be prepared to get out, one of the biggest advantages for using stop orders.

Learnt a long time ago, the market goes Up and down, it doesn't go up OR down.

Answer 7

Sounds like ur in the same boat as the investment banks and a lot of long only hedge funds. I have a lot of professional and retail freinds that feel the same way as you.

Just keep youreslf focused and try not to let you account figures get to you.

If there's a way to loose it there's a way to make it.

I'll tell you what I told my clients next year, things are gonna be tough til 09 just make sure you're not over leveraged and concentrate on company fundamentals. Downturns are only bad for bad investors and speculators.

Keep the faith
