Waiting for the Bottom

Published by Roland Manarin at 4:47 pm under Bear Market, Ownership

Being an owner with your long term investment capital is never about following a short path to riches. 

It is nearly always about the compounded power of many market sessions.  Times like these are what challenge investors’ discipline and day by day we hold on past the doom-and-gloomers waiting for the breakout to emerge.

REALITY CHECK:  So here we are near the bottom and it seems that most of our peers have become overwhelmed and left the building.  Today being an owner often leads to second guessing … “you aren’t still investing in the stock market, are you?” … “that isn’t safe” … “I moved my money to cash and bonds” … but the market session that is right around the corner, THE bottom and the rally that follows, reaffirms once again that common stocks, over the long term, are the highest total return asset class of all.
