I remember struggling to find anything that wasn't overvalued earlier in the year, and now everything is hugely undervalued. Take a long term approach and drip feed money into quality companies and you should do very nicely in 2-5 years time. I personally see this as a massive buying opportunity.

I'm thinking it's time to get back in the game again very shortly, just waiting to pick my spot, probably one of the financial institutions.

I’m investing the maximum I can afford at the moment, so I’ll just have to be satisfied with that. I still have a long time before thinking about retirement - 29 odd years, guess I should consider myself lucky about this. Well as you can imagine,if I had extra money to invest right now, I would.

There is so much turbulence in the market today, and people need peace of mind more than ever. I wanted to offer your readers a link to another blogger who is doing great work. He writes about our childhood money messages' and how the best approach to stability in today's market is to resist letting these emotions control our buying/selling habits. It is really fascinating work, and something you should all check out. His name is Spencer Sherman, and you can view his blog at http://www.curemoneymadness.com/blog. This was a great post!
