Prepare yourselves for a historical market crash, starting today we are going to experience a continuation of the downtrend of previously unseen proportions. Sadly, on July 11, 2007 I wrote in this blog about some rough times ahead; I did not follow my own advise thinking that it would be a short term correction and remained invested. Here we are fifteen months later and facing a worst case scenario.
If you are long in the market, there's nowhere to go, run or hide, we are going to be punished like never before.
A suggestion, take a deep breath, don't panic and ride the storm. At this time, and for the next two to three weeks (after the election), I would not put any more money in the market. There will be buying opportunities later on.
Best of luck to all of you.

Funny... However, Sad and True
The following link is worth watching. Hopefully, we'll be able to laugh about it three to five years from now.

We could be seeing a bottom in the price of this stock
Do Not Panic !
The markets have taken a toll on those of us who are invested. This is not a good time to sell in order to keep the little that is left from our capital. If anything, this deterioration in prices create a buying oportunity in selective issues for those who have the intestinal fortitude to risk more funds.
The cycle we are experiencing will weed-out the weak short-term investors and will continue until most of the willing and unwilling sellers are swept away.
A market bottom may be forming and, in twelve to eighteen months from now, we may be looking at a healthy rebound.
