I get so tired of hearing all the doom and gloom with regard to the stock market these days. To a contrarian like myself, this is like Christmas!
There are so many negative posts and questions in here that my contrarian spidy sense is going nuts. When the average Joe finally turns on his TV because their portfolio is down, listens to what the talking heads on the news are saying, decides thing are horrible, and puts in a sell order the markets are at or near a bottom. People just don't understand that markets predict, yes "IF" there is a recession most of it is priced in right now. Historically the market bottoms well before the end of a recession.
So , yes I am buying, and in a year or two when all of the people getting out right now decide the all clear has been sounded because the market is up double digits decide to get back in, I will be smiling all the way to the bank.
