Good points. In my humble opinion, the market is a gamble. Unless you have knowledge (insider trading) buy good quality companies or funds. I like Edward have a financial advisor who through the years has done really good for me. I am not smart enough to do it by myself.

Well put, Frank. One problem with getting elated at the market dropping, say 50% and the next year rising 50% is it takes a 100% rise from that level to end up where you started. That kind of drop, which happens in a depression sometimes, is that it takes much longer to rise back up. You are only half-way back.
