You have urged readers to by specific stocks in the past.
I don't recall that at all.
Any evidence for this claim?
Numerous examples, easy to find. Here’s one.

Pretty funny you consider that evidence of your claim.

OK. We’ll just use the S&P 500 as a proxy for your buy on the dip.
Why not. After all, we've been using that and the Dow as a proxy for the gains you've missed out on for the last 3 years.

Not a buy recommendation, but...

You should have sold some when you were 50% higher.
I really didn't want to pile on.
Sure, whatever troll. Really pretty amusing that you consider a well deserved dig an investment recommendation. But what would one expect from your continual harrassment? Go find some more from the days of your hurt fragile ego.
Quoting your posts is now considered harassment?

No of course not, only YOUR obvious obsession.
Deny it if you like. You are far too obvious.
I could care less at this point. Just play your silly game.
Maserati,
It looks like the pension problems are geting more difficult to hide. Of course from my preferred choice for anti-establishment news.

That's understandable. Especially for those who have been sitting on the sideline for years expecting a big drop that has never happened, and missed out on some huge gains.

Igy continues to struggle with the English language. Too funny.

I guess I have been "sitting on the sidelines" but it's a little difficult to invest when you don't have capital to put up. I was in college and just starting my career during this insane build up. I'm now in a position where I'd like to buy a house and they're sort of expensive these days in case you hadn't noticed so yeah a massive crash would kinda help that and since I write collections software for banks and credit unions I figure I'll do alright.
SP500 bumping down at the 200 day...if we go through that meaningfully I'd suspect to see a lot more selling.
I probably would do some selling myself...
but the thing is...earnings are superb, the economy is roaring....the VIX suggests something close to raw terror out there. Those would suggest buying, not selling.
as always, difficult decisions.

You have urged readers to by specific stocks in the past. How is that not "market oriented" advice?
Making such recommendations without a thorough knowledge of the goals, background, and risk tolerance of the recipient would be an unconscionable act for any financial advisor.

I think Igy has been trying to tell us there's a bit of a house of cards surrounding that story line...
"but the thing is...earnings are superb, the economy is roaring"
Oh, boy. You know, agip, I have a soft spot for you. You seem like a really nice guy, honest and trusting.

Oh, boy. you know, maser, I have a soft spot for you. You seem like a paranoid guy, never believing what is in front of your face. So amusing.
