I’d like to find a fund that sells when the market is giddy with optimism and buys when folks are jumping out of windows. Selling when the market is falling apart is a great way to lock in losses, in my opinion.

I think that within the next six to twelve months there are going to be some real bargains to be had.

The time to sell was about two years ago.

The time to sell was July 2007 (not quite a two years ago).

The time to buy is coming ~ but it's not here yet. Odds are good you have your money tied up insome vehicle that your suddenly insolvent and bankrupt brokerage is not going to be able to get their hands on to do the investment for you.

Ga,

That depends entirely on what you have been doing during
the two years since the top. There have been plenty of money
making opportunities since the top. They have been short lived. Most funds are fully invested all the time. Long/Short Equity funds are not. Others are not.

best,
ampu
