| Your post conflating dorkism isn't useful but to be expected. You've got your reasons I guess I just hope it isn't viral. |

Most of the money in the stock markets since the 80s have come from the world's baby boomers. Their time horizon has run out. They will no longer invest in risky stocks and wait for years hoping for outsize returns. Most of their money will go into safer investments such as government bonds and securities.
I think the days of sky-high company valuations are over until the kids of the baby boomers earn enough money to invest in the stock markets. This may take a decade or more. |

7,000? Wasn't the Dow at 7,000 in 1995?
I'm starting to believe this is all a great, great opportunity. Flush those bad investments out and start over with investments in green technology and construction in urban areas.
My personal and amateur investment advice is looking into stocks for innovations that may seem like a good idea. Buy them now. They may stay low for a little while but eventually this train is going to ride back up. |
Don't get ahead of yourself.

The world is on the brink of financial meltdown, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said last night. His bleak warning came as finance ministers tried to calm the frenzy in markets that saw share prices crash by more than 20% last week.
Separately, the IMF�s chief economist predicted that shares could slump by another 20% before stabilising. G7 finance ministers pledged to take all necessary steps to support the banking system and stave off an economic slump. |
In addition, buying individual stocks is not a good idea unless you are going to open the firms books, do industry surveys and the rest. Buy index funds of an industry you understand. Buying individual stocks is not wise unless you have very a specialized understanding of the firm. |
