A.
I do not like the stock market, period. Not going to sell me any stock!
B.
Market blip. Temporary up. I will wait until the market goes down.
C. Darn!
I missed the market! Oh well. I will wait for a better time.
D. Uh-oh,
I am wrong. The market is really going up. I have to get in! No time for planning,
wasting time, have got to get started.
E. Dear, take some money out of
savings. We're going to the Promised Land! I watched this guy on television and
he said buy. Don't know what the company does, something about computers. His
word is good enough for me. Diversify? Heck no, he said it's going to $100.00.
Don't want to miss out. Buy with cash.
F. Oh no, it's over! I better get
out. Maybe, better yet, I can do something they call 'shorting' where you sell
before you buy when you just know the market is going to go down.
G. Blip
again. They are not going to fool me! I am not going to get back in. Sweetheart,
why did you take the money out of savings? You should have made me talk to someone
about having a plan.
H. I have changed my mind. I want to get back in the
market. Dear, give me the checkbook!
I. I will buy more equities; I'll
diversify to two stocks; whatever the guy on TV likes.
J. I have a feeling
that this correction is temporary. I will buy more. Clean out savings! Yes! The
children's college fund? Today!
K. The market is just about ready to turn
back up. What is this I hear about options? Dear, you always said you wanted to
go back to work, didn't you? Let's try some!
L. Let's buy some more options.
Wow, these options are fun! Is that all they are worth today?
M. All my
options have expired worthless. Should have listened about having a selling price
if it goes down. This does not make any sense! Why do I listen to everyone?
N.
I can't take it! The market never goes up. Get me out of my stocks. This is all
your fault my dear! I don't know why I ever listen to you.
O. Those poor
long-term investors. The same thing will happen to them that happened to me. They're
wasting a lot of time allocating, rebalancing, and reallocating their portfolios.
P.
The market is moving to a higher high. There is going to be a bigger fall than
before.
Q. I want back in the market. I must get back in. Maybe this is
a good time to take a second on the house?
R. I am back in the market!
Dear, don't worry about how we have done so far, they're only paper losses.
S.
Today I will buy even more stock; maybe one of those index funds with no management,
better yet, I can save some money with no management fees. It has got to go up.
Besides, I'm a long-term investor and it can't stay down for ever. This margin
account is terrific. Still love me honey? I've got a feel for this now!
