RE: RE: RE: the big picturedude, you really think we are going to believe you had a bid for 3.5 and you missed by 1 cent. you see you are the kind of person i believe who does indeed want the bottom and then when it does happen, you will be so upset you missed it you still wont recognize it and still wont even buy 10% above the bottom and then when stocks have doubled you will still wonder why didnt i buy or at least buy a bit or dollar cost average. i mean even if you did have a bid at 3.5 and then when you saw you missed it, why didnt you buy at 4, you still would be up 17% today - well again you didnt because you missed the bottom and those who have a ultimate goal of getting the bottom just cant find it within themselves to pull the trigger 10% higher and will then chase the stock and hoping for pull backs but the pull backs will never be big enough - these types are all the same. hey, in the end you can believe what you want, and you can be 100% cash all you want but that is where i disagree. if you are 100% cash, you believe you can time the markets and we all know that doesnt work. I am not saying to be 100% invested but how about get to 50- 60% equties and that means buying 10% in 5-6 equal installments over a certain period to dollar cost average in. there is a thing called opportunity cost to being 100% cash. all that said, GL.
