I have stayed out of Apple of late... because it's the only thing the talking heads can talk about. That always gives me 'pause'.

Same here Greg! Gold was/is quite poplular and its what lead to the $2000 grand bubble, IMO. So I think the bottom is a good time to buy. It's out of my league, but I do collect silver as a hobby and long term investment/hedge.
However, if anyone wants a lead on stocks, IMHO, invest in those firms that the Federal Reserve bailed out in secret. Partial audits revealed those, and McD's was one of them. With a backer like the Fed, you're sure to win. That's my strategy when I plan to jump in.
Appreciate the convo and insight.
