But if you invest in equities (and/or bonds) there is the real possibility that you’ll have to weather some ugly storms.

It was pretty hard during the recession and even though I know that it won't be that soon before everything gets back to normal t'll at least know that it's downhill from now on.

There is just too much lopsidedness that has to be balanced out, and a total reappraisal of actual value and worth is upon us. Get debt free and buy gold is about the best advice I can offer, along with learning how to grow your own food. The markets are definitely not going to get better for a good while still.

It's probably going to be like this for a little while until peoples' start feeling confident in the market again. Everyone should start buying. I don’t think the market is going to get any worse.

I don't see the market screaming to 10k but I do see a period of slow growth and re-evaluation of actual values of many things. I liked rob's button suggestion of "sideways" I think what we are seeing in this market is a leveling off.

There are still lots of ARMs that have yet to reset. They'll be doing that in earnest for another three years. We’re nowhere close to the bottom. There are still lots of ARMs that have yet to reset.

I would not however be so naive as to suggest that the worst is not yet to come. I believe unemployment, consumer activity, credit concerns, and rising costs will continue to hurt many of us.

Kevin does make a good point. At no junction during the last year has my investing changed.

I'm writing an article about this for next week. People need to be investing through the recession. There's no sense in worrying about where the bottom is or trying to time the market. Dollar cost average your way through the mess and you're going to come out a winner unless the economy totally collapses. I don’t think it matters. I’m writing an article about this for next week.
