| 50% decline from the 2007 high is historic. This is a once in a generation event. A once in a lifetime chance to invest at the lowest possible prices anyone could hope for. All one needs is to be able to decipher the gold from the rocks. The great companies from the bad ones. I'm currently working on my 4th quarter 2008 analysis, and I'll be glad to share my findings in this thread when I'm finished... |

| Be prepared to lose EVERYTHING you invest at the current time. The ripples in the pond have just started. |

I won't be retiring for another 30 years so my strategy will remain the same as it was before this crisis: continued investment through proper asset allocation.
Something along of lines of this:
Domestic equity: 30%
Foreign developed equity: 15%
Emerging market equity: 5%
Real estate: 20%
US Treasury bonds: 15%
US Treasury inflation-protected securities: 15%
David Swenson's Unconventional Success: A Fundamental Approach to Personal Investment is good read for those willing to delve in a little deeper. |
