I sure hope many of you were buying some shares of your favorite picks a few weeks ago. Even better is if you have your dividends automatically reinvested. Then it takes your fear and loathing (of buying stocks when they're down) out of the equation.
Once again - if you've been paying ANY attention to "the market" - these last few weeks have been a great test of your resolve. I hope you've all made personal "note" of how you felt about seeing your gains erased - and the green turn to red. Buying when everything is all green is so easy. Buying when it's red or putting more money to work in things you show a loss in... that's hard. It's also the way you'll make the most money. STAYING in the game is how you win.
