AWESOME!! And that's the thing the talking heads do over and over.... they harp on the minute by minute action... and talk about "big drops" (that are 1 or 2% in reality).... and nobody ever does the calculations that if the market is UP 30% - so what if you drop 5 or 10% !!


But it is what we live with.

Buying LOW is fantastic! It's when people come in at the much higher prices and then take a hit... then they throw in the towel. The minute they do - the stock goes up and recovers the drop and adds some! LOL


BTW --- Have to add --- This is a good time to go look at a long term chart of FaceBook (FB) even the one year chart looks RIGHT -- low on the left and climbing to the right. Choppy sure... but the trend is your friend! LOL
