So, gotta ask the obvious.......

"The market is good so cards must be good"
"The market is bad so cards must be bad"

These are both awful assumptions to make.

If I were tied up in stocks you'd catch me in the center of town. But I am a free man so I do as I please.

It's funny, if you had cash on the sidelines at 9:30am, and had your eye on a few stocks, you could've made a decent buck by lunchtime.

Example, Apple is worth $115 last week, $92 at 9:30 am, $108 now.

Don't panic sell. Buy on FEAR!!!!

Just my two cents.

After literally waiting for two years for a correction, I sunk a pretty substantial amount into the market the week before the free fall. It happens and it's long term money and while it will sting a little for the next few months, it's not going to change my life. I may subconsciously not pull the trigger on a four figure opportunity buy but the stuff I;m working on is the stuff I;m working on.

Exactly .............. Do Not Panic


OH, I only wish I bought Apple when it first came out. Like my sister, she just liked the logo

I'm down about 15%, so just my 1.7 cents worth of advice.
