I think the DOW is hitting the bottom, but the NASDAQ and NYSE still have a bit to drop. When you look at the DOW, the past 2 weeks have seen bear market moves ("soars" and "crashes") but still remains in that 8000-8500 as investors still try and find the bottom.

I just started filling my portfolio with a bunch of DOW index stocks. I'm going to wait a bit on the NASDAQ and NYSE to slip a bit more (maybe a month? maybe a quarter?) before I buy in as I see jobs still getting lost and quarterly reports look grim. And closely following that, emerging market funds, ETFs and any sort of fund for foreign investments I will probably go in hard.

I'm thinking of my 100% portfolio, go 2-5% per stock (I have a list of 15-20 I like), 40% funds, and 10% safe investments. Which is pretty different for me considering I historically have 90% of my money in "safe" investments.
