How much more can it go down? You never know. But those with healthy nerves buy now - and usually they are the winners. I have no problems pulling money after significant raise however - getting out profits is sweet. Sometimes it’s hard to sustain when you see the prices go lower and lower.

Its hard not to get caught up in the hype sometimes, but who wants to "sell low"? I just posted yesterday w/ advice from Brnjamin Graham, who basically recommended to move money into stocks after a decline, and into bonds after a significant rise. Makes sense to me. But it is <strong>hard<strong> to pull money back after a significant rise as well. Totally agree. Its hard not to get caught up in the hype sometimes, but who wants to “sell low”?

Just keeping it steady so that by the time I retire in 30-35 years I will have experienced a gain. In the mean time I'm just going to ride the waves up and down 'til then.

When you have a downturn like this, the overall risk in the market is essentially reduced (market performance more closely matches earnings), meaning that stocks that were much riskier prospects 5 months ago, are, as a class, now much safer. If you think of the market in terms of price and risk, Buffet's philosophy makes perfect sense.
