<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Santinidollar, post: 2285107, member: 75866&quot;]Just because something WAS a good investment in the past doesn&#039;t mean it is a good investment today-- and won&#039;t become a good investment again tomorrow.</p><p><br /></p><p>I quickly regained my losses from the Crash of 2008-09 not by trying to figure out where the bottom of the Dow was, but by playing bonds for rising prices. Obviously today, with rate hikes in the horizon, that would not be a wise move.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also played gold as a hedge and had the good fortune to get out near the top. Now, with low inflation, a really strong dollar, and a strong chance (I believe) of deflation, I do not see the bottom of PM prices yet. Not that I&#039;m anti-PM -- I just don&#039;t see an advantageous entry point yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Things move even quicker in the stock market. This quarter&#039;s hot sector can be next quarter&#039;s cold sector. And an investor must do regular homework on each company he owns.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point is this: My best investing has come from regular study and the willingness to roll with the flow and punches, so to speak.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
