Then it's up no one thinks it's going to fall. When it tanks no one thinks it's going to recover.
I was down 48% last year. Most of that in that last 4-5 months. Now I'm down 18%. Never thought I'd be happy about being down only 18% but thats where things are right now.
Could it tank again? Sure. Could it keep crawling out of the hole? Possibly. There's still stuff out there that can make you money. I bought BAC when it was around $4 and sold it when it hit $12. I've also bought some stock that was low and never seemed to do anything but flat line. I've got hook into a couple Mutual Funds that have absolutely tanked recently. No one bats 1000. So far I'm still doing better this spring then last winter. I see hope. Not bright gleaming hope ready to rise tomorrow but hope none the less.
I still think real estate is a good buy. But what do I know? I think at a 1.80 AIG is a pretty attractive deal. And they could well be the next Enron.
