I read this article which explains what EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT. All these stocks are going to follow the market direction and below is why.

I totally agree with you Loic. I would just add that stocks are actually worst than casino because they look like they can be predicted but they can’t be. At least nobody (or almost) pretends he will predict for sure the result of the roulette. However, just right here, it is fascinating to watch people saying they can predict the future.
So let’s just recall the only two things you can say about stocks :
Stock market is a BOUNDED system. So yes “nothing will go up to the sky and nothing will go down to the hell (except maybe lehman brothers…)”.
Then if you really want to invest DIVERSIFY your risks (companies, and sector of activities). So whatever you do, don’t only buy tech stocks. And beware that even if you diversify your portfolio, like now, when the whole market plunges everyone suffers, including Google.

So why can’t the market be predicted while market laws seem pretty simple ? Thing is predicting the market is essentially like trying to predict the weather. It is possible to predict some trends for the few next days but after that the sensitivity to initial conditions is just too high. Both weather and market are CHAOTIC systems. If you really want to understand what is going on with your shares (and also by the way with the climate) read this 20 year old best selling book : Chaos: Making a New Science, from James Gleick.

So personnally, like Peter Cooper said above, I invest in my own projects (which are by the way about observing and predicting things) and in my friends’ projects.

My two (euro) cents.

I don’t even look at the public stock I own these days, I know what to expect. Fortunately it is not much, I don’t trust public stock ownership and markets as a way to make money, it is just like casino.

As always, the question is how long is your long term. Check out Barton Biggs new book: Wealth, War, & Wisdom for a quick overview of how well equities have performed over a longer time-span.

Of course it took several years for tech stocks to come back after the tech bubble burst. That’s because the overvaluation was in tech. But most of the real damage here are in the financials, real estate and any credit/insurance company. All other stocks are undervalued and should be the first to recover. It’ll be the FIRE (financials, insurance, real estate) stocks that will take a few years to come back around this time.

With that said, I don’t think we’ll see any serious rallying until some time in ‘09. Shit’s beginning to hit the fan in Europe and Asia.

I admit that I can’t help from buying everything I can afford right now, which isn’t much, but I still can’t shake this feeling that fear is driving this downturn, and it won’t be long before the markets rebound. Am I crazy for thinking DELL is a steal right now at a 10-year low? And yeah, I still have GOOG from 3 years back (wish I had sold during the $700 days), and I still believe if anyone is capable or riding our economy’s inevitable rebound, be it in 6 months or 6 years, it’s Google, Apple, Intel, etc, as far as tech is concerned.

Wall Street plunged further and the 10 millionth iPhone failed to stimulate Apple’s stocks…

I wonder what is happening with Wall Street and tech stocks at the moment. I also like to ask the same questions that have been asked by Erick Schonfeld from TechCrunch earlier today:
Does this signal a buying opportunity, or are investors better off …

I put money into Goog and Aapl the day of the downturn and admittedly it was too early, but it was still a steal for what their longtern value is. I’ve already put buy orders in at a “doomsday” price as well… Somebody above mentioned longterm and they’re right, this is like a clearance sale for someone who can afford to invest the money and wait 5-years.
