I am of the opinion that you can make sensible purchases through research and calculated risk. My position now is in mutual funds and ETFs that are Indexes and diversified. I may make selected purchases in some stocks.

What say you folks!

I tend to agree with you, Price. I sit back and watch certain stocks like Berkshire Hathaway climb during this Bearish market, while the panic sell-offs on Emerging Markets continue...Just the "Chosen Few" are going to make real profit with stocks.

Cheers!
