Is it a good time to buy stocks?

Could be, but I wouldn't say it's any more of a sure thing than normal. They could continue falling, and some companies might go under, which not only leaves you sans dividends but also without shares of any kind.

I still think that index funds are a better bet than juggling stocks yourself (plus, it's way easier) but I would be surprised if the markets are done faceplanting just yet.

so your saying wait just alittle longer and see if they go up insteed of fall?JetB1ackNewYear

Nobody knows. That's the thing with the market.

IMO your best is to do some research on investing first.

well what would you invest in now? like what companies?

If you use internet forums to gather this info you're going to loose :o

You want mutual funds, and research, do some learning.

Are they? And what stocks?

IMO there are some good deals out there. You can wait for the bottom but predicting the bottom of a market is way hard to do. If you're willing to put some time in you don't have to wait for the bottom.

you're never going to be able to guess the bottom. don't try to. look for stocks of companies that are good companies, profitable, good management, etc.. that will likely go up in the long term.

Well, im very pessimistic (or optimistic viewed from another angle). I think we are still very far from the bottom.loco145

Buying stocks right now = taking over someone else's mess.

Dont buy anything except an extra large mattress.

Don't listen to these Wall Street "insiders" either - all they do is toss around false hope to get people to invest in their OWN portfolios.

They are all LIARS!

They didn't have microwaves in 1929.

Look, we'll make it on Poptarts AND Soup.

Instant-Ramen too. Just add water!

Also - we can polyurathane our carboard box houses so they don't degrade as fast as they did in the 30's.

Florida is bad as it is with the Hurricanes.

I would move to Arizona - less humidity - I mean, it's a DRY heat!
