Even getting out of bed in the morning has some risk related, eh? @Ed, I think 7000 is probably the bottom. The market has had just about everything thrown at it (except all out nuclear war) and seems to hover between 7k and a little over 8k. I agree that long term prospects are good, but it may take 5 years or more to fully recover. @Forex,

@Ed,

I think 7000 is probably the bottom. The market has had just about everything thrown at it (except all out nuclear war) and seems to hover between 7k and a little over 8k.

I agree that long term prospects are good, but it may take 5 years or more to fully recover.

After yesterday's slide, I may be moving about 5% back into equities. I still think we may see a 7000 Dow again, but long-term prospects are bright.

Anything from buying a house, to finding a job or buying a lottery ticket!! We need to be educated on how to evaluate which option infront of us offers the best reward for the lowest risk. A little like comparing the best 'lb for lb' boxer. Whats the best 'lb for lb' reward vs risk out there? Thanks for the post!
