What do you think about next week Rod? Tom said week after options week is typically low. I may abandon ship for a little bit.................

Historical chartshaven't been faithful latley, have they?

If anything, oil prices may continue to rise. I'll take my chances, though.

I'm staying put.

here is a linkfor those who think "hold for the long term" is correct, especially in the post Enron, post WorldCom world we live in

I am NOT advocating any particular method or strategy, however it would do all of us a favor to turn off Motley Fool and change the channel from CNBC

There is a difference between a truly diversified buy and hold portfolio and following the advice of a stock broker to the point of financial suicide. Loading up on tech stocks and holding through 2000-2002was not buy and hold, it wasgreed and/or ignorance.The 60/40 portfolio that is listed on the returns page is a much better example of a long-term buy and hold portfolio. The retiree mentioned in the article would not have lost even close to that kind of money if he had simply held the simple 60/40 diversified portfolio listed on the returns page through 2000-2002.For god's sakes,he could have simplybought and held Dodge and Cox Balanced fund over those years andposted a positive return.

And yes, the storm clouds will gather again... but stay focused on that "pot of gold" at the end of the rainbow!:^

That's just way too Disney for my taste! :?

I prefer to go where the action is and to leave before it is too late, otherwise you will be stuck, drunk with the ugly chick. :shock:

Where's he been anyway?
