Message: [QUOTE="Tenspro2002, post: 3544829, member: 889"] I don't buy for the short term. With my playing-around money, I got into UAL and LUV, but didn't have the stomach to buy DAL last Wednesday when airlines cratered (should have). I know it'll take 3-5 years for airlines to recover, but a 100-200% return over that time is pretty good. These companies didn't just lose 70% of their long term value overnight. Everything else (i.e. the other 98% of my portfolio is in funds, large cap, small cap, international, total stock market, whatever). I don't try to beat the market and don't need to. With the absurd fiscal and monetary policies pursued in this country, the stock market will always be in great shape and better than the economy at large. [/QUOTE]
