I haven't sold any of my stocks. I've been buying more throughout the whole downturn: financials, energy, consumer goods, health care, technology. All value-based companies that make real things that people need. I even managed to buy up some TD Bank (a killer bank in Canada) when it was at its ultimate low - thank god I had a good cash position that day! It's back up over 25% from that low now.

Sounds like you are an active trader, and there is always great trades out there. We just have to be careful suggesting to the public that generally buy stocks and don't know when to sell them, sit on them and lose money in these bear markets. Good luck on Tuesday!

I don't think I can time the bottom. All I know is that buying now (select names) gets me, what I would call, assets on sale. Therefore I am buying. I may not be able to time the top as well so I will generally sell when I think the asset prices have gone up more than warranted. For example, I sold WSCI (look up some of my old posts) at around $9-$11 and the stock ran up to $17. I got my double. The stock price is now down to $3 so I do not consider that sale as a mistake. I don't expect to be perfect; just better than most. @Ray, you may be right. I don’t think I can time the bottom.
