Let everyone employ their own strategy. Those of us who watch the market very closely were buying shares as you predicted (rather WISHED for) the fall of the market. By the time shares stabilised or peaked - since Friday through to Monday and yesterday,we were selling and cashing in gains. The trick is to get a broker who will execute your order on the basis of a telephone call - within minutes,if not seconds. Now,we are just WAITING for the shares to fall to a level where we can buy again. No emotion whatsover - let the market do the thinking for us.

As for those who are buying shares on the basis of good solid fundamentals,over the long term,this will always be a winning strategy. But some of us are traders,and we want our money NOW>

Where do you get a broker who buys and sells when you want. How does it work.

Actually,you must have been looking at yesterday's drop in the index. I guess you musta been watching (viewing) CNBC. Today's drop is much higher at 82 points. C'est la vie! You've got to be able to take the good with the bad.

I don't mean to be pedantic,but I believe you meant

'Lets brace for the falling market' NOT 'Embrace'

It would be nice if you edited your heading.


I've noticed the youth in particular coming in to a workplace with a completely outsized notion of their own value and importance... just a thinly-veiled arrogance. May be the credit crunch induced recession is whats needed to remind us all about the value of hard work.... By Anonymous
