Just because a stock is down doesn't mean it's a great buy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The stock market can be down, but the stock market is not an indication of where people's spirits and enthusiam are, and where their intellectual energy is.
The trend of the market is up, not down. Shorting stocks puts you against that trend and thus makes it more difficult to make money.
You'll get nowhere buying stocks just because they have a great story.
If you're saving for the long run, it's actually a good thing when the market is down because the more shares you have, the more you can potentially make when markets rise. And over time - decades, not months - the markets rise more than they fall.
The down market favours the small two-, three-, four-person company, not the huge company with 100 people losing half a million dollars a month.
I think you have to learn that there's a company behind every stock, and that there's only one real reason why stocks go up. Companies go from doing poorly to doing well or small companies grow to large companies.
I don't know anything about a stock!
Shareholders share in the downside and not necessarily in the upside; that's the whole story.
When stocks are attractive, you buy them. Sure, they can go lower. I've bought stocks at $12 that went to $2, but then they later went to $30. You just don't know when you can find the bottom.
As a bull market continues, almost anything you buy goes up. It makes you feel that investing in stocks is a very easy and safe and that you're a financial genius.
