What neither previous entry metions, is the risk of being out of the market when it does recover.

The premise for this article is based on "Behavioral Finance 101." This holds that a typical investor will sell low and buy high. And, that there is an emotionally-driven cycle. At the moment, we are past the panic stage but in the despair segment.

I am an unbiased Graduate School student and follow facts and figures, not the general mass media controlled by the wealthy elite. In saying that, I agree full heartedly with the above user in that hard tangible gold assets, in currency form for an easy form of transfer/exchange, will be the ONLY place for me & my family in 2009 and possibly beyond. The US Dollar is in deep deep trouble people in regards to Hyperinflation due to the overly-aggressive printing presses & the bank's best friend in the Federal Reserve created for them, at the sacrifice of the Dollar & us common folks in the USA. Once the Asian market begins to drop out of the US Dollar value fallacy to its true worth, the US Dollar will plummet, not necessarily the Stock Market.

Put your money in gold. 2009 will be the year to be out of the stock market.
