I made a point of not looking at the value of our RRSP's last week. Until I had to for our mortgage renewal process. To say that I felt sick to my stomach was an understatement. Screw my stocks - my retirement is getting further and further away. Might have to get a second job at 7-11 to recover my losses.

When the crowd panics Warren Buffet is buying. You can bet your @ss he's looked hard at what he's buying. Of course pref's with a 10% rate aren't hard to take.

 

My best performer is a recent purchase of TD Bank.

 

Analysts were saying the markets were discounting $70 oil when the stocks were 40% higher. There's a lot of downside protection for buyers now. Today's prices equate to discounting $30 oil? How much can demand drop? Income trust yields are approaching 20% at these prices.

You can all hire me as an investment advisor! I checked my US retirement account which has a managed fund by "professional" portfolio managers and a portion that I manage myself. YTD, the "pros" have lost 28%. I've only lost 25%. I freakin ROCK! How did THAT taste Investement Professionals!

The financial markets are very complex. Stocks are a small part of it. There are almost infinite investment styles.

I did my first investment 1 month before the Oct 1987 crash. I've tried professional advisors - didn't pay. I gradually got educated because it fascinated me. Over time, I've found advisors with good track records who both agree with and challenge my beliefs. Some information I pay for and some is free. Nobody can be consistently successful at anything without building up their knowledge base or by acting alone. I've been very fortunate.

I think the first step is understanding the basic math of investing - rate of return (income based), return on investment (more capital gains oriented). Start small. Learn from your mistakes. Celebrate your victories. Don't be afraid to lock in a profit. The first loss is usually the cheapest. Mass psychology trumps fundamentals in the short term. Sometimes it's a good idea to sit on the sidelines and watch. There are internet sites where you can trade virtually.
