[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer to your title question is to buy near market bottom sometime later this year. If you have other financial obligations and cannot do this, then your portfolio will just take longer to turn around. That's all.[/quote] The answer is to rebuy now in total market index funds since no one can predict the market. Also there is no reason to have individual stocks. A total market index fund has the entire US stock market. Buying individual stocks is placing a bet or gamble on a specific company by overweighting that company relative to its market weight. There is not a problem with having some small amount of play money in a portfolio for this, but given your husband's addiction, I advise you ban individual stock investing.[/quote]
