Hi guys & girls

So, looking at our collection of comments and crying emoticons in the last couple of hundred posts, it's clear that people are not all that happy in our current situation. All shares are down, and by a significant margin to. So this is just a post to see what other people think will happen in the long term. Is it good to buy now while things are beat, or are they going to get beat more?

Personally, I'm thinking that long term this is all going to be for the good. Prices on some ETF's are the lowest they've been in the last year, whereas they have shown consistent growth before, so I believe they're going to pick up again. A dip now just means more capital for my buck. The phenomenon known as "hot money" will come to an end soon, and foreign investors will realize that we still have the ability to generate higher returns in our emerging market than those of the developed countries.

Give me your opinion. Am I wrong? Am I right? Am I wasting your time .

Cheers
