As of today, after DOW losing so much, giving up on quality stocks now is not cutting losses, it's act of desperation.
If I think a stock is still worthwhile, I'll try to pick up some more during this downturn for much greater gain in the future.

but i don't see why u cant just cut it and buy back later when the trend is going your way?
why try to pick a bottom, wait for a indicator that shows it's changed for the better, and just buy into the trend, then you'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

By selling at the bottom you do the exact opposite. You buy when it's higher while sold at the lowest price. Factoring the associate risks into, the downtrend has to be pretty big to be worthwhile. With Dow already down by 2000, selling now doesn't make much sense in long term.

Seems like the market is pricing in the potential for a QE3 announcement later today. If so I bet gold will climb even higher as the feds print more USD.
I opened a Questrade account last night.
After 5 years of studying the markets, reading everything I can get my hands on and following currencies, demographics, trends etc. I think I am ready. I have lots to learn and am going to start small and very slow!

Props on the 5 years of learning, best of luck!
Remember the biggest factor in real vs simulated/paper is emotions (e.g. greed and fear)

Thanks guys. Keeping the emotions out of financial decision is going to be a challenge.
gdoh it's funny my coworker says that too. Sounds like gambling!
I am going to look for dividend producing stocks and am reading wayyy back in this thread to learn more about what you guys have been up to. I like CDN financials, mining/exploration, tech and energy. I will try to focus on what I know.

I don't own Teck.
My motto is similars to gdoh but its more of what you're willing to win is equal to what you're willing to lose.
I wonder who lost out in selling CUU at 1.30s

welcome VIP and good luck with your investments. What i go by is, only invest what i can afford to lose.
Fed news was great imo, it shows that US is trying to stabilize and it will be pretty much be the same as how it was pre-defefault crisis. what are your guys thoughts about this?
As for CUU, Eneresto was at it yesterday and bought another 500,000 shares @ 1.3760. It explains the huge spike in volume with no charge in SP. He did this last time as well, all or nothing fill. and @blackgsr that lesson sucks =( but oh well i bought in at market this time. tbh though a few cents wont matter in the long run xD
@nates i don't own teck either. It is too expensive for me and i think CUU will have a better ROI.
