He wanted to buy more on the cheap would be my guess.
Wow is right. I certainly didn't expect a rally this soon.
Do you think we get a pullback tomorrow?Comment

;-)
Given the historically low valuations being placed on top companies right now all of us who plan to be buying stocks in the coming year should hope for lower prices. As Warren Buffet has said "If I'm a net buyer, obviously I would rather have prices go down than up".
I try to keep this in mind but of course when you have a huge percentage of your net worth in stocks it is difficult not to get EMOTIONALLY excited about big up days - even when in the LONG RUN it is to your disadvantage.

Congrats on your winnings. I guess the next days the only way is up because good news is what investors were waiting for to get them going again.Comment

I have no idea. I only think in 10 year time frames. I don't know anyone who can predict tomorrow or this week with any accuracy.

The last part is 100% true, the good thing is: when prices are at an all time low, the only way is up
Now would be a good time to buy the right stocks and make some green.

I saw you mention that in your thread last week. Its a good year to be a contrarian value investor.
Heres a few well worn but time tested investing maxims from the late great Sir John Templeton that fit nicely with your approach.
To buy when others are despondently selling and to sell when others are greedily buying requires the greatest fortitude and pays the greatest reward.Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria. The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy, and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell,
I said in a thread last week that timing the market is a mugs game. You obviously would like to buy stocks at their lowest price but who knows what that is in a market like this. Instead find solid companies with ridiculous valuations/multiples and pick them up. Well they might go down a bit more they will certainly rise faster and further when the market turns for good.Last edited by yys; 10-13-2008, 12:34 PM.Comment

Great hero to have. Over the weekend I was telling my g/f that famous story about Templeton. About how at the beginning of WW II he borrowed money to buy $100 worth of 104 stocks on the NYSE trading below $1. I think he borrowed $10,000 and ended up making $40,000 in 4 years.

I bet we still didnt saw true market bottom yet, cause this recession is going to be big and long.Comment

Nice quote ! Never saw it before but it covers the entire stockmarket essence.Comment
