Reply #17: The Market will always fluctuate, and depending on Who's in Charge

[MsTryska]

and their policies it can fluctuate wildly. When it's like this, if you have the decades necessary - it's time to buy. It's why i chose to enter the stock market at this particular time, despite my lack of faith in g-dub.


Stocks right now are far more affordable than they were during the Clinton years. I can get much more for my dollar now than i could then, and i'll let it ride. I do have faith that eventually policy will swing back to a more sane agenda, and the dollar will get stronger. There's really no need to panic, unless you are bleeding money you can't afford to lose.


if that's the case - wait till your holdings have hit a mark close to your original buy price, if not at buy price, dump it all and put that money in bonds - US and Foreign. Actually considering the weak dollar - stick a lot of it in a forign bond fund.
