People are selling into any strength they can. Libor rates are rising despite the global rate cuts. Gold and silver are about to explode to the upside as people lose faith in paper.

Sorry to burst everyon'e bubble, but this ol boy is buying. Are you kidding me? So many bargains. Dow might dip to the low 8000 range, but in 2-4 years, it will be back up to 13,000-15,000 range! I'm buying strong companies with cash, assets, at near 1-1 ratio of total market cap that will not be impacted by this slowdown. BARGAINS! Crazy bargains!

This is when people make money folks, right now! Again, this is when people make money, right NOW! Be brave.

And think of it this way. If things completely fail and crash to great depression times, then the money will be worthless anyhow! Right? so why not invest it and take a high percentage chance of doubling, or even tripling your investment in 2-3 years? If it don't work out that way, we are all screwed anyhow, no matter if you sold or bought today.

My sentiment, is that unless you need $ now, BUY!
