I live for weeks like this one. Sometimes have to sit on my hands and nibble for months when I wish I was all in. Some amount of dry powder ALWAYS is the key. I have a few stocks that are likely to get crushed if they already haven't. I'll concentrate on what is going to happen in a few months after I nibble into this fear. This market could turn within days and be all euphoric again, or maybe not. I might sell a loser but I won't panic and ensure failure for my port.
These times separate those who possess the stomach to own individual stocks, or even some ETFs. I hope you don't announce ten panic trades you already completed. Throw the idea up here first and maybe we can help you see next winter instead of later this afternoon. Seriously. I know Divemenow and I come off cocky half the time. We are just entertaining ourselves and trying to stay cool under fire. Anybody that ever said investing with real money is easy is a liar.
