ch: I invest a set amount each month, but I am not fully invested in the market. I have a cash reserve that I will utilize during pullbacks.

But if we know for example that the Dow is attractively priced when it yields 5-6% or so and right now it yields 2-3% or so, why would we not wait until the high valuations come down and buy the yield on a cheaper cost. If you are fully invested and the market drops %30, how do you have any money to take advantage of the sale the earlier poster refers to? I appreciate any thoughts and strategies.

TMT: As May 6th showed limit order can get you in trouble. I pull prices weekly and see where the positions are.

D4L,

So do you have Limit orders set to take advantage of those buy prices?

Do you have a watch list created and daily/weekly pull up the prices and see what to buy?

You should tell the so called “dividend investors” who are getting out of the market and stick with GIC’s.
They really weren’t dividend investors, because if they were, they would welcome days like may 6th, and hope that we are in for a significant downturn.

People love when cars, electronics, etc are on sale. For the life of me I can’t explain why they hate dividend sales?????

Let’s hope for another may 6th, or even better, another March/09!
