My mom told me some 35-40 years ago when I was a kid in elementary school that if I ever saw images like this on the news or in the paper to load the boat with stocks
I'm a contrarian investor that usually buys on Bad News and when there is Blood in the street. I zig when most zag
I bought SIRI on a Friday with a debt note due on Monday and the consensus on the street was they would default.
DISH was a White Knight and stepped in as it was pre XM merger I wish I held but 30% is 30% and back then I would always take money off the table on 15+% days but tend to hold most plays 1-3 years now on average
Around the same time I also bought stock in a little juice company then known as HANS - Hansens Juice, I worked for a large retailer and spotted the energy drink trend as their #1 beverage is known as Monster ;) ;)
