Q: Is it safe for me to start investing again? Will the volatility in the stock markets settle down?

A: Don’t bet on it. We cannot say this strongly enough – this is NOT a time to be investing in most stocks. The time to buy will come, but right now, you need to stay conservative. We haven’t, by any means, even started to clean up this mess yet, and there are still problems looming in the commercial real estate and retail sectors.

Heck, the so-called "pros" don’t even know what to do in this market, as evidenced by their crazy stupid euphoria one day and abject terror and selling the next. Protect your money. Use these spikes to consider appropriate selling and get on the sidelines. Right now – and for at least the next three to six months – cash is king! We’ll be watching, and we’ll let you know when it is safe to get back in to the stock markets.
