Being Smart with $$ - Part of You Wants to Sell & Part of You Wants to Buy


The Stock Market!  Admit it.  Part of you wants to sell all your stocks because you think the markets might crash more and you’ll be a genius if you buy back at the lower levels.  And part of you wants to buy more stocks because this could be a dip that is a classic buying opportunity.  But the truth is, we have no idea which of the two scenarios is ahead of us in the short term.  Market timing has victimized so many before you and that includes many professional traders.  Keep your eye on the prize and invest for your long-term needs rather than guessing and gambling on the short term.
