A HERETIC I AM

On a day like today, remember the words of Warren Buffet;

"Be fearful when others are greedy and (to) be greedy only when others are fearful."


If you liked a stock a week ago at $100 (or whatever) you should absolutely love it at $85.

There is sure to be a lot of running around with hair on fire type comments and threads on DU today, but a calm, steady and reasoned approach is always best. Don't "try and catch a falling knife", as the old saying goes, but watch for bargains in the shares of companies you trust.

Not to mention we here in NE Florida have the outer bands of a Cat 1 storm to raise a glass to!
