Beta & Market Corrections

[TomK]

I agree completely with both of you. Beta doesn't really factor into my decision-making. Generally, I am dealing with the largest and most well-established companies in the world, and I am going to hold most of them for decades. If they happen to fluctuate in price a bit more than the index, well, then that is just going to help me buy more shares at lower prices and fewer shares at higher prices. No worries there.
