I agree with Don. If you're not comfortable shorting, buy precious metals, natural resources and commodities.

My precious metal fund (Vanguard) is up lots, as is my medical equipment fund. So, there are some bright spots in all this....

Lets just say I may have to use suspenders to hold my pants up.

Toilet Paper

If I have anymore paper losses they are going to become toilet paper. So far I've lost on paper more then I earned in my first 3 years of full time work.

Hmmm. I was up today, not a lot, but I was up. I was up yesterday, up the day before. Actually, I am down only minimally since my high point a couple months ago. Copper and gold my friends, as well as oil and ag. Buy what works and get rid of what isn't.

What changes a day makes. I was up on a couple stocks, bought a stock today that had been beaten down, and it went up, but one of my bright spots yesterday turn tarnished today. It started bouncing the last half hour, but with the 5% drop it took, it should have been sold at about 2-3% drop...but I didn't do it. I didn't stick to my trading rules.

But...for the week, I was up.
