    Diversification, a long-term perspective, investing with a shop with good global research fundamentals, and a commitment to not making paper losses real losses.

    Let me guess, you're a first-year grad student; you just got finished reading some Marxian historian, Pete Garrison probably. You're gonna be convinced of that 'till next month when you get to James Lemon. Then you're going to be talking about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740. That's gonna last until next year; you're gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, talkin' about, you know, the pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization.

    What do you mean "preparing?" Unless you plan on retiring in the next 10 years, in which case most of your assists should be in bonds by now, or you get your income directly from the market, in which case you should have a good fixed Income portfolio that isn't affected by market prices, you don't need to worry as much as you think. Markets always recover within a few years. If there's a significant downturn soon, not unlikely it'll last a while then rally back.

    I don't think the sock market will increase dramatically in price, other then normal inflation.

    Unless you're in a recession, the stock market should almost ALWAYS be at record prices. The global economy is constantly growing, wealth is constantly being created, therefore market valuations should be constantly growing.

    The stock market being at "record highs" isn't an indicator of literally anything except that you're not in a recession.

    If you're worried about the sock market, just buy some socks now. If the price of socks goes up for some strange reason, it will probably come back down to normal levels but you'll already have your socks.

    I'm not wearing pants.



    Obviously, this has nothing to do with the stock market; I just thought you should know.

    My wife and I take a long term view and the things we're in are pretty long term stable, even in downturns. We're expecting a market correction coming and we're pulling some $$ out to realize some gains and reinvesting it into a new home in an area around us that has historically been highly desirable...

    Did you start school as a janitor that solved a difficult graduate-level math problem, to be discovered by a Professor, who decides to help you reach your potential. However, did you get in trouble and the Professor had to make a deal to get leniency for you if you got treatment from Robin Williams?

    sound advice. except the part where 'markets always recover within a few years'. they normally do, but Japans Nikkei is an exception. Nikkei was at a high of 38000 in 1989, it has never reached back, still at 20300 after 28 years.

    Sounds a lot like my story. Before being laid off I worked at a college as a janitor even though I felt like I was smarter than most of the people who went there. Sometimes I would see an equation written on a blackboard like half an equation and... I just figure it out.

    Yeah, anyway. My best friend is Ben Affleck.
