Maybe the stock you buy today will be cheaper tomorrow.

And if I knew the answer to that, would I be sitting in a cubicle as I type this?

Best wishes.

ETA: Full disclosure: over the last few weeks, I have been buying shares. Right now, that looks like a good idea, but who can say what will happen in a month?

and pretty much just sat it out. Every time my stocks have come back and 2X or 3X better in a few years. I did buy a bunch of Ford stock at $1.92 and that one worked out and now even pays a dividend.

Buy low, sell high.

Last week was a warning shot that should have told us all to get the heck out of the market before the real dip comes.

Likely the market will take a 15%+ dive between now and the end of October and it won't recover until the next election is settled (which could be before Nov 2016 is there is a clear leader -- the market would love some HRC).

The buying opportunities will come later. Today isn't it.

everything else has come early this year from snow in July to fall foliage in August.

I'm just gonna stay hunkered down and hope my summer job doesn't get truncated early by the temper-tantrum Congress. I don't have the disposable income to play the market anyway.

Mention Rule 48 and my first thought is Jethro Gibbs.

funny!
