i have a small amount of money in a retirement account, diversified in mostly low risk funds.......back when the market was at about 10800, i borrowed some to finance a house...for some reason, i froze the remaining 30,000..of course the market has gone up considerably an i'm not sure about getting back in now...i realize it's always a risk, but anybody have any advice???
thanks

Traditionally, we're in the second month of a projected 14 month bull market.
However, with today's signs, we might be beginning one of the short term pullbacks that usually occurs along the way. If so, it might pull back to 11800 or 11600 and still be holding a strong market.
You can't predict the market, but that is my 2 cents. :-)
Best of luck!

I'm a novice investor but the main thing I know about the market is that there is always a correction. I figure it to go down eventually, but how low nobody knows. If anyone knew the answers to questions about the market for certain the world would be full of billionaires. But the market is a gamble.

The market is always going to drop and rise, but I don't believe it will ever get that low. You need to invest with a financial advisor. Now is the time to invest if you are going to. Just make sure that you get out when you need to. Keep an eye on the market and don't wait too long.

No. The bull market was over due and has only just started.
Buy the index. It could not be simpler. We are in for a 20% rise in the next 12 months.
Beats working for a living, dude.

1st - to deal with 1 above - stock market is not a "gamble". Was 700 in 1980 when I went in. Haven't seen figure that recently. There are always things you should buy & things that need to be sold. Gold (IAU an etf) is a clear buy. SNH - senior housing Reit - solid total return vehicle. Due to this election might want to avoid large caps for a bit & definitely avoid health care stocks. EWA Austrlalia etf & others are a buy. Staying out not an option for your future. Feel free to e-mail

I doubt it. The market loves gridlock in Washington (because no prohibitive business legislation gets passed), and it looks like Democrats will control the House for sure, maybe the Senate.
So I think the Dow is poised to rise some more.

From here it could happen. Thats only about 9 or 10 percent below where it is now. In 1987 it dropped about 23 percent in one day. The higher the Dow goes though the less likely its going to drop below 11000.

I wouldn't put money into the dow, s&p, or any other domestic equities...
if I was in your shoes, I would probably look for a fund that is very very well diversified and especially in foreign markets, but not any emerging markets (they're more risky)

We are just one major terrorist attack away from a big sell off. Most people are loaded with debt. The baby boomers are getting ready to start with-drawls on retirement accounts. People have already used the equity on their house. Inventories are high.
Better to be safe than real sorry. Sell on rallies, buy incrementally on sell offs. Keep your powder dry.
I like to buy the construction supply stocks now and wait. Look for low PE's, low Price to Sales, less than 3 times book. Low debt.
