Bull sh!t. "You will *always* lose more money betting on the market going up than down." back that up.

I can only back that up with historical data and personal experience.

Look how it long it takes for a market to recover after a crash:

Specifically, pay attention to the October 1987 crash. The Dow lost 50% in 2 months;

it took 2 years to get back to where it was before the crash.

That doesn't mean I quote you "you will always lose more money betting on the market going up than down" it just takes time.

Long-term - of course. I meant in the short-term when you're trying to call the bottom in a bear market.

Most people don't have the where with all to read between the lines, be careful, I get mad cause I think about innocent people being influenced when it is not in their best interest.

Most people think that the stock market is a magic money making machine that you can invest in and forget.

It's not. You need to actively manage your portfolio to avoid unnecessary losses.

And also understand that shares are not short term in most cases day traders are not an example for the rest of the us. Daily fluctuations are to be expected, and yes obviously right now is an exception.

At least oil is now $77 / barrel.

[mawilson 2,133]

Just as I predicted in June this year:

Let's not overreact, ok? Oil will be back down to $75.

We're not talking about daily fluctuations here, it's a global coordinated equity sell-off.

The right time to sell was back in May-June, but it's still not too late, because things will get worse!

And not to be a #######, but I told you so back in June:

I think the Dow and S&P500 are going to sink even lower... investors are selling

out of equity funds big time - especially U.S.-based equity funds (although

diversified-shmiversified, they are ALL fukced.) You might consider buying

DXD (Ultra-Short Dow), QID (Ultra-Short QQQ) or SDS (Ultra-Short S&P500)

in the coming days - all three are very very nice ETFs. If you want to profit

from China's stock market crash, consider buying FXP (UltraShort Xinhua China 25).

Last week I finally decided to bite the bullet and move all the equity-based

funds in my IRAs and 401(k)s to safe money-market funds until further notice.

It was a nice rally (March-June), but unfortunately it now seems to be over.
