If you mean equities, why not? If you're young, have lots of years and don't mind volatility, why not be buying as much as you can when prices are really low? There are some Chicken Littles here but I`m not one of them. This market will come back and the investments made at lows like this will be the ones that give the best capital appreciation. When this market reaches bottom (I think we`re close), I feel that will be the best investment opportunity you`ll see for a long time. Hey, I`m probably older than you are and that`s what I`m doing.
