Three months ago the market was much higher than it is now. Good attempt though
It called dollar cost averaging. If you read my link you would of known my strategy and the advice I gave. What do you think I just bought stocks three months ago and sat on then. Nope! I have been buying stock every week for the past three months. I was also doubling and tripling up as those particular stock went down. The average I paid on Bank Of America was 3.50. No too bad of a return. You would be suprised how well this method works. Good Try Though! Click the links I posted. Love it when people blindly respond without reading posted links. Regardless the point I was making is he has no clue what he is talking about. Over time you will realize this.

Then you might not want to forget to put in a "stop loss" on those positions. They'll come in handy in a few months.

Stocks are a ridiculous way to make money. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying you can't make money buying and selling stocks. What I'm saying is that it is a ridiculous system. It's fake. If you want to invest, invest locally so you have trustworthy businesses you can depend on in your community that will provide things to you that you need.
Giving more and more investment to these massive companies is just worsening the situation of personal freedoms. Sure, you'll make a lot of money investing in them, but you can also make a lot of money selling saline solution on the street as flu vaccine; that doesn't make it right, and a resulting epidemic doesn't serve you anymore than the victims of your activity.
Please understand what I'm saying: even the form of investment we do in these start-up, younger company only further emboldens them. What's the difference between Chili's, Maccaroni Grill, and your local mom and pop restaurant? They all started as mom and pops...the difference is that your local mom and pop's is still owned by mom and pop and still revolves around the food...Meanwhile, Chili's and Macaroni Grill kept growing and are now owned by the same corporation, do not focus on the food. Mom and pop are long gone as the number-crunchers and marketing people took over to create "an experience" with faux-cuisine, hyper-marketing and lack of real authenticity.
The worst part is that these superchains explode and the next thing you know tourists only eat at them when they travel...never grazing the local restaurants that have been a staple of the community they're visiting, eventually leading to their decline and disappearing.
So...keep investing in these companies, but I think there is a better way to be wealthy without selling out. It could also help circumvent this problem RP has showed to exist.
