Relevant quote from Warren Buffet
I just transferred a sizable portion of my savings back into the stock market today. What summoned me to do this was a reminder of this quote from Warren Buffet: "Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful." Buffet recently snapped up shares from GE at an incredible bargain. We'll see.
Update: Warren reiterated what I said about a week and a half later.

philosophistry is Latin for the "love of rhetoric." In a nutshell, Philosophistry means that the only truth is tongue-in-cheek. This site is ground zero for my thoughts, multimedia projects, and experiments in communication.

It's definitely good advice, but it depends on whether you think we're anywhere near the bottom yet or not. I think a Dow 8000 is probably a realistic bottom and that'll be the time to buy hard - we need to see some more shocks and bankruptcies first before things settle.
