Value Investing in a Bear Market
Believe it or not, but there are certain investors that are actually enjoying the panic-inducing crash in the stock market. No, we’re not talking about short sellers. We’re talking about value investors, who haven’t had much to buy in the last few years with valuations at a skyhigh level.
Now, P/E ratios are dropping and value investors, in the spririt of Warren Buffet, are getting excited. Value investors don’t let the market’s fear (or greed) affect their opinions. They let the numbers speak for themselves to make their stock picks.
At the end of the day, there’s no point in trying to time the bottom of the market. It can’t be done. Over the long-term, the market is on an upwards trend and that’s the attitude you have to take: a long-term approach to investing.

“This quintessentially American tale about the ultimate self-made man—and in some ways the least changed… [Is] the definitive portrait of a complex man…Should become a Bible for capitalists.”—Washington Post
“Mr. Buffett made a smart choice when he chose Alice Schroeder as his Boswell…. A writer able to keep pace with the wild swerves in the Buffett story and the intricacies of Mr. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway business empire. Ms. Schroeder is as insightful about her subject’s precise anticipation of current financial crises as she is about his quirky personal story. And she is a clear explicator of fiscal issues.”—New York Times

Stock Market Trend Analysis 10/6/08
A very volatile session once again, but there was a powerful rally at the end of the session. Granted, you can’t trust rallies until the moving average starts heading higher. Leave your opinions at the door - the only reason to buy is when price action tells you to. All this volatility is offering fantastic trading opportunities, but be careful. There is a more neutral market for gold, so that’s something to keep an eye on. Oil was down to new lows but the trend is still lower. Again, listen to price action. It’s going to take a while for the confidence in the financial system to heal. Don’t succumb to greed. Greed is what caused the entire mess in the first place.
