I think you can't go wrong buying blue chip for long term success, while the market is "on sale" I think we have still a way to go, sure there will be rally, but I think fear has really taken over.

I'm hoping that the prospect of a new leader in the whitehouse ( regardless of your politics ) drives some optimism, which drives confidence, and ultimately, some consumer spending. But, yeah, I'm hedging my bets too...the bottom may have yet to be seen. <em>money-saving-tips's last blog post..<a href='http://billeater.com/tips/top-10-life-insurance-buyers-tips' rel="nofollow">Top 10 life insurance buyer's tips</a></em> This has been a hot debate at work…have we hit the floor, or just a false bottom?

I've gotta say that although I'm not bailing on my 401k and ROTH IRA, I'm definitely looking for other places to put my cash. Everyone thinks that they don't have anything unique to offer the world and that they only have one way to make it happen when, in actuality, the fact that you don't think you have anything to offer the world could be your ticket. There are a nearly 7 billion people on this planet, some of them are like you. I think the secret is finding that niche that helps you to build and grow yourself is where you need to find your money maker. For 1/10th of those people maybe the stock market is it; but I've gotta tell you, especially in lieu of this recent swing in the market, there are still people making money - but where? Nobody has a one size fits all answer as to where to put your $, but everyone thinks everyone else has it. Sorry, I don't have it either, but to tell you that it is out there, there is a LOT of money out there for everyone, finding it is the key I think. Think in "niches". Where do you fit, and what could you offer that niche that they'd be willing to pay for? @CuriousCat - I agree that the market will shoot up 10 years from now, that's why I'm not pulling my funds out now. They'll be worth something then. I'm in the same boat (although I don't have real-estate now) but my overseas funds are doing alright, nothing to write home about though. True that many think "stock market" encompasses only the US stock market, but honestly, it carries a big relation to the international world, so I guess they're not THAT far off. :) This site along with others is an income I work at now, but honestly as I'm experimenting here, I'm slowing down the post rate to see what it'll do to the numbers and what I've found is "not much if any" change. My goal is to be able to build @MrToughMoneyLove and JonatsGonats – That’s the million dollar question isn’t it?

With corporate propaganda at levels it is today, it is no surprise that people stay in the market. Of COURSE businesses are going to tell you to stay in your 401k. They are getting something out of it as well, especially those that offer stock in their own company through the 401k. Good eye-opener post. Gotta love devils-advocate!

I am sure the economy will get worse over the next 6 months. I guess the stock market might be lower 6 months from now but I don't really know. I believe the stock market will be significantly higher 10 years from now. And I believe the stock market is a good place to put money for the long term, and am putting my money there (not just there, I also have some money going to real estate). I also am investing in international stocks - which is part of the "stock market" but some in the USA think of the "stock market" as just the USA. <em>Curious Cat Investing Blog's last blog post..<a href='http://investing.curiouscatblog.net/2008/12/01/dazzling-diversification/' rel="nofollow">Dazzling Diversification</a></em> I agree there is little reason to think the market can’t go lower.
