[...] It is true that we often hear “buy low, sell high” during a bear market. However, that doesn’t really give us a good idea of what we should be doing on a more practical level. There are a lot of ideas of ways you can limit your risk while still investing and finding good bargains. But you should consider your individual investment portfolio needs and goals. And, as always, there is a risk that things won’t pan out quite the way you like, but I like these tips offered at Stock Trading To Go: [...]

Just found your site and most of this is good, but this:

3. Temporarily stop automatic investments into mutual funds.

If you didn’t do this last fall, this is just plain dumb. It’s impossible to be certain where a bottom is we could be at one or we could go down another 4,000 in the DOW. Even if the market drops another 4,000 points you have already missed 60% of the drop from it’s high if you were in cash, which you should have been. Now is when you should be taking bits of the market (not suggesting you go all in). See your #25.

In 3-4 years everyone will be saying, “why didn’t we buy in the fall of 2008?”

I love your advice about not holding onto a stock just because you love it. This is something many struggle with, and I have seen it cost them a lot of money. Thank you for the great stock tips!

Hi Blain,

Great post and great site. There is always something interesting to read on here. With regard to point number three, my strategy has been to keep investing and to not stop my automatic investments (401K/IRA). I’m only 26 and have a lot of time to make up for my portfolio’s recent loss in value. To me the only thing worse than losing money in a down market, is not being in the game for the upswing.
