If I were cash rich I'd probably just buy a broad cross-section which is what I do anyway. But I'm not so sadly I can't ameliorate my losses by buying more right now

I'm pretty clueless about this stuff. Bores me to death. I might take advice from likes of Hargreaves Lansdowne but they're the ones who sold me the benefits of that Woodford thing that lost me about £4k. Maybe best to get into drug dealing or summit.bloggoth

No harm in buying a few solid companies like Verizon or AT&T but generally a bit early to wade in. This could be over by the end of April or it could go on for months. If it's over by the end of April, now's the time to get in, if not could get worse.
This is a lot harder to call than 2003 or 2008.I'm alright JackComment
