on your investments:
The market runs on cycles. Buy at the bottom and Sell at the top of these cycles. REMOVE ALL EMOTIONS.

More info on the cycles of the market, this should shed some light:

on the OIL price:
it's simple macroeconomics: Supply and Demand - I just completed a case study on the current oil markets for my macro-econ professor. I researched US, SA, Middle East, Russian and Chinese markets and suppliers/refiners. There's a HUGE over supply in the market. In addition, the big players were looking to wipe out (acquire) all the little mom and pops that have sprung up during the price boom, so they dumped the over supply on the market driving the price so far down that the mom and pops cannot compete so must sell out. Read the Wall Street Journal and WATCH for the energy sector deals, try to avoid the B.S. "newsy" type spin doctor nuts and read through the lines.

Quite a few of my retired neighbors are watching their stocks flushing. The best advice I ever received re: "The Stock Market" was. "There is ONE guy who is always going to make money in the stock market. And that's the guy who gets a commission when you buy, and a commission when you sell. It doesn't make any difference if you gain or lose. He gets his commission." Huh

Personally, I've lost everything 3 times now. The last time, 2007-2008, we took advice from our financial advisor of 15 years and still lost the majority of our investments. We were told it would take another 20+ years to get back what we lost. He still lives an affluent lifestyle.

Some years back I was really following the political and economic stuff. I was consistently predicting. I told everyone to get the money out of the IRA, pay the penalty and taxes, just get the money. One man listened. Today, he Owns his house, instead of renting. He told me that had I not told him ,had he not listened, he would have been a renter forever.
People really should be able to see most of the disasters coming.

I've been saying that since it started...
Wall Street investment used to be based on anticipation of earnings...
Once money starts flowing automatically, via 401k, etc... it is a shell game...
Every paycheck,... this money must go somewhere... it is no longer an estimate of possible earnings,... it's gambling...
Managers,.. must put the money on something. there is no holding back.
And,.. as the money multiplies, the value of any stock is reduced by equal percentage...
A pie only splits so many ways...

Spin the wheel... hope for the best... Huh

justin, I ran into the same issue with my partner during the 07-08 "issues". We fought for months, as I wanted to sell everything in 07 and she refused until mid 08. It was way too late by then. She cried. She refuses to discuss it, even to this day.

Serowbot, I've suspected the shell game for decades. I truly believe it's been going on for several centuries if we exam the pre-US markets in Europe and early American markets, they smell of scams and insider trading from the beginning.

So, where the crappity smack do we invest our money for growth if not in the market? Banks do not keep up with inflation in their interest offerings. So what do we do to support ourselves in the long run?
