...and know a good place for intelligent discussion?  I get really sick of the spammers and idiots on Yahoo and Marketwatch.  Figured savvy MU grads could point me to good discussion.

Has anyone seen the Fox business channel ads on CNBC ripping Cramer? I have only seen them on Comcast cable and I assume it is a local ad. It's funny seeing an ad ripping the channel you are watching.

They're running those ads nationally on radio.  Cramer is entertaining, but I wouldn't trust him with stock picks if he were the last man standing.

The best quote I heard last Friday was when the Dow was down 700, " This is worse than divorce, I've lost half my net worth and I'm still married".

It's tough to argue with one of the richest men in the world, I like the line

"Be afraid of buying stock when everyone is acting greedy, and get greedy when everyone is afraid of buying stock"

I have within the last year or so been mostly following the IBD methodology of buying/selling stocks and it saved me a lot of money.  www.investors.com

I basically have been out of the market with 60% of my money for much of the year following the IBD rules and haven't lost any money there.  Its the other 40% that I have held from my earlier buy and hold strategy that has tanked.  Now if you have a long term view, while painful, you should make back most of the money you lost, it just might take a while.

Thanks for the info.  I too have been in mostly cash for a while now.  So, my losses don't look as bad as the overall market, but still more than I like to see!  Luckily I do have a long time frame, but always good to get more edumacated.
