Diversify is good and make sure you know your time horizon for your investments and adjust accordingly since you cannot predict what the stock market will do in the short term. Ann: Not a problem.

I don't feel the pinch of the deduction yet I've been able to purchase three shares this way so far. I plan to double that amount after my next raise, since it won't affect the amount I'm already budgeting for. I'd like to retire in some degree of comfort!

That way, if the market turns around, you just made less money (but still made money).

I'm just trying to learn the ropes and stick it out, you know? Thanks for this bit of encouragement since I've been getting headline news in my email about the downslides lately.

It's amazing how people don't often consider the risk and then blame everyone if they lose money. Financial are going to be very iffy for a little while with many people advising to stay away until the cloud is clear. Eric: Great advice!

However, you are right. The safest position for most investments is to purchase for the long term and to diversify/hedge your bets. I can afford to take risks because my investment portfolio is money I can afford to lose. Maybe not the entire thing, but a good bit. I specialize in financial's because of my work background and because I know them and can feel their general vibe. I see a lot of companies in an industry that are down 15% and the value over the long term will go up, but the safer play would be to avoid the market if you can't afford to lose what you put in.
