I am also using this as an opportunity to put more money into the market, but like you, I am spreading it out. There is no need for anyone to put everything in right now.

The concept of buy low and sell high can be helpful, though difficult to execute. It is true that "low" should not be seen as telling you to buy just because the price today is lower than it has been. If there are good reasons for the price to be lower then the expectation of selling it higher may not be good. It seems to me many stock prices are getting pretty low. I am buying more stocks recently but slowly (not poutting all my available cash into the market now). I am far from certain that this is the lowest prices will get. So I will start buying now but keep buying if prices stay at this level or decline. One thing I find very hard to do is sell when prices are high. I can do it sometimes. But it is not easy for me. If the price gets ridicules I can do it but often it is hard not to be swept up in the possibilities for the future. I am better at not buying too high. I am able to buy Google now and didn't at $700. But I also didn't sell at $700. Well the article is accepting the efficient market theory which is far from certain.

I think our economy and the nature of investing will be undergoing major changes for the next few years. And I think the majority of investing books will need to rewritten when we emerge from this mess! weakonomist: I thought his article was great too.

He did one on the paradox of thrift as well that was really good. Flexo’s paradox article was very fascinating. He did one on the paradox of thrift as well that was really good.
