Seems everyday I read stories about big companies writing off BILLIONS of dollars and laying of thousands of employees. I guess it's only gonna get worse.

So what do we with our $$$ now? Do we cash out all our stocks while we're still ahead or will this be worse than the dot com crash in 99/00. I had a customer tell me that this feels like the 1930s.

sorine brought up a valid question about buy/sell/even-up existing length/ or hold. according to the definition of "recession", it's been here (a mild one) for the past two quarters per GDPs.....

invariably, each sector of economy represents different risk elements but in general, as a flight to quality, the less risk assumptive segments are in soft commodities and metals. the kicker for the novice investors is it is a bit late for the novice investors to get on board as gold is trading over $900 and agri-commodities are at historic high and threating food inflation.

as to what to do at this point, my only advice is to know your particular industry well, assess your financial capacities (risk appetite) and your role in the marketplace (short term trader or long term investor--the formers are the minute-to-minute market screen watchers who live and die on every quarterly earning reports and daily influences of the outside markets. the later simply invest their money in places for what the potential it brings long terms and not at the next quarterly conf. call and wallstreet earning exp. vs. actual).

with that said, i believe mark twain who once said..."it always gets dark before it turns completely pitch BLACK".......lol.

everyone, have a good day.

Here's the note from my client....

Im still on the market but not going to buy right at this moment,
Waiting to see the next few weeks whats going to happen to economy.
The news are not so good, country's largest lender failed today, Bank of America bought it out, but they are the ones who running away to Europe, merging with European banks...but could only mean one thing: british money exchanges taking their money back, shrinking the currency in US . I dont want to predict anything but it looks like economy crash and depression is at the door.
Same thing happened in 1930's.
So im just waiting out a bit,
I will let you know soon,
that's the beauty:)

Regards
