Don't Follow Panicked Stock Investors over a Cliff

Monday January 14, 2008
When should a stock investor follow the herd and when should she head the other direction? One argument says, if everyone else is selling, you should be buying – and if they are buying, you should be selling.

I think it’s obvious that it depends on the investor’s skills in analysis the basic value of a company. Even if the times are rocky, a good company should be able to maintain profit growth and such, so I think it’s only something to be concerned about if one is naive of the fundamentals of business and the market.

It depends on how long the gov’t will continue propping up the economy with bailouts provided by taxing the middle class, or how long the upcoming manipulations will last after the elections are over. Bailouts being talked about will continue to reward those who cheat, lie and steal, sending the message that “crime always pays.” If the economy crashes after these efforts, it may go to about 9255. If terrorist attacks combined with the current unstable underpinnings, could go as low as 7600. Remember, the crash of 1987 was by more than 30 percent.
