My preferred stocks have lost 40% of their value in just a few weeks. These preferred stocks are all rated AA or better at Scottrade. They have 35 years to run. They didn't tell me that anywhere on their web site links about preferred stocks. So don't lose your money. Go to a real broker. 37 % is not too bad, I guess.

Unfortunately, I think it will keep going down. Bear markets last an average of 19 months and decline an average of 37%. This bear market has a ways to go in both metrics. The market is bad enough that I will be working to short stocks over the next month. Sun,

This is a tough market. Unfortunately, I think it will keep going down. Bear markets last an average of 19 months and decline an average of 37%. This bear market has a ways to go in both metrics. The market is bad enough that I will be working to short stocks over the next month.

Every time when I thought the big drop presented a buy opportunity (I did bought some early this month after the 400-point drop), the market only went even lower shortly after :( Nobody really knows where the bottom is and it's really not fun to see the shares I just bought worth less and less. Now, I try to not buy any extra, though I still make regular monthly purchase. Hope things will get better, but who knows when. Tim: I feel you.

For some trading ideas for week of 06/30 visit our blog at http://www.navivest.com/blog/ The actual stocks list for next week is at http://www.navivest.com/blog/?p=19This is not a long term recommendation. The risks still abound, as the situation for banks and Wall Street firms is actually getting worse and high oil prices are either negatively impacting companies' production costs or causing their customers to spend less. But with the strong rise in oil prices last week, we should see a breather, which is good for stocks.Good luck and profitable trading.

This is not a long term recommendation. The risks still abound, as the situation for banks and Wall Street firms is actually getting worse and high oil prices are either negatively impacting companies’ production costs or causing their customers to spend less. But with the strong rise in oil prices last week, we should see a breather, which is good for stocks.

Good luck and profitable trading.

It will be in a taxable account, but I feel like I'm getting a good deal. Now's the time to buy I say :) I’ve been keeping too much in cash reserves lately, so I went ahead and bought into Vanguard’s S&P 500 index.
