Out of the Market?
How many of you got out early last week before what has been 10 out of 11 days of pain?
I got into bonds in one of my accounts and out of equities, and into a gold ETF in another account last Tuesday. I know, W's buying right now and will make a fortune later, I get it. Buy low sell high, I get that as well. Just a general question. I am in the process of buying two foreclosed homes that I plan to rent here in the Spring/Houston market. Earning a 6-8% return is the play I am making at this juncture. I plan to get back in equities, just not right now. Economic news the past two weeks has been horrible. |

I moved my 401k into fixed income about 3 weeks ago. I'm now getting ready to put it back in play, probably sometime next week it looks like.

holding tight. BUT it is gonna be a bumpy ride.
Most people don't fathom the billions of dollars than flow in & out of the market on a daily basis, and the fact with SO much more money going in & out, than even 10 years ago, that it will create much higher volitility. Just a sign of the times. Case in point. Around this same time last year we experienced a sell off of -16% peak to trough and the market finished out 2010 up +15%. With today's actions, we are at about -10% from peak to today. Last edited by cmdrost; 08-04-2011 at 01:56 PM. |

Considering that many are not moving and pulling out to liquidity (taking profits) could this be considered part of a conspiracy to get folks to take gains and pay taxes on them??
Just my mind wondering. I am standing pat, was pretty conservative any way. I have stopped funding my 401K past matching by the company and putting that towards a rental condo in Orange Beach that we picked up considerably lower than appraisal. I am confident it will cash flow and grow in value over the next five years. |
