Quoted:
Now that the crash seems to be subsiding is it time to buy? Or are we still headed down deeper? What sayeth the hive? Most of my stuff (not very much) is mutual type funds. For the most part I left everything alone. It is a risky gamble right now, and I prefer not to gamble. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_10_17/682454_dow_futures_down_477__if_this_is_it____.html |

The last 4 years the market has been up and up some more. Now that its turned volatile I pulled SOME of my money to the sidelines until the turmoil is over. Who knows where it will go from here. New contributions are going straight back into the market though as they MAY be cheap right now. I'll move the bulk back over once things stabilize and trends look bullish again.
The days gains were completely lost and then some in the last hour of trading. YMMV but (to quote the investment advisor I follow) I'd rather be out of the market wishing I was in, then in the market wishing I was out. |

If it does truly crash or the economy goes to crap, money isn't going to be used to buy things. We'll be on the barter system. Liquor, TP and time with your wife will be currency.

If the stock market ever goes to zero, or close enough then there is no point in having money or any assets as they would be worthless. Strong buy. From what I have been seeing with the charts I am noticing a strong buy in at the beginning of each market day, with a massive sell off between 1-3PM. If I had enough money I would consider checking this out, verifying with a couple of stocks you wouldn't hate to own if it didn't workout and consider selling after an hr or two of holding. |

I set a stop order for a price that probably is too low but if I get it fine if not its no big deal.
I think it depends on your timeframe. Mine is 30 years so I bought in the dip before the dip |

There's some good deals out there now. I picked up wal mart for under $65 at a %3 yield. Added PG and JNJ also. Oil and mining stocks are crushed and a good deal in my opinion. I don't see either oil or iron ore going away anytime soon. I look for companies that are down but the business is still solid and companies that don't carry a lot of debt.

The time to buy is now. When markets dip like this it is PRIME TIME to snatch up the deals. The whole point is to buy cheap, and sell on the high end. Oil is cheap and WILL go back up. OPEC will most likely cut production as they will force the shale folks to shut down due to cost. Coal is epically down right now and will jump towards the fall again when the temps drop and the EPA lawsuits clear the courts. Besides that, there are mega deals to be had. I would personally soak up the major dividend companies like Wells Fargo, Bank of Nova Scotia and etc. as they continue to show strength and have been increasing in value over the last 5-10 years.

One of them is Cloud Peak (CLD). I haven't bought yet but their bond issue maturing in 2019 looks interesting. I'm not a high risk investor and I just don't know enough about bonds like this to buy it. It's fallen off a cliff since May of this year. Not long before that it was trading above par. They recently showed a loss but were profitable until 2 quarters ago. From what I can tell their debt looks manageable also but I'm no expert. If it falls to 25. I'm in for 5 bonds which is the minimum http://finra-markets.morningstar.com/BondCenter/BondDetail.jsp?ticker=C531825&symbol=CLD.AA |

I'm all for risk, but BTU may just be too much risk at this point. Either way I'm gonna watch it closely.
