I'll recommend the veal when it's worth recommending... Lately though, the fish has been phenomenal. :P @Mr.Cheap – makes sense to me!

I’ll recommend the veal when it’s worth recommending… Lately though, the fish has been phenomenal. :P

The market isn't going down because sellers can't / won't offer their property at a massive drop in value, and buyers won't pay inflated prices based on the previous bubble, so the volume just drops out of the market and price stagnate. Is it no longer politically correct to recommend the veal? ;-) I wonder if this is what’s behind house slumps where prices plateaus for a decade: Home buyers want to sell, but buyers are smart enough not to pay the prices being asked (even if its a small discount).

For some more-active clients: with brand new cash we are deploying half now and waiting to see if it goes lower before committing another quarter. The final quarter would be either dollar cost averaged in over a year or deployed once volatility and bad news stops springing up. For those clients who are already half cash, we are deploying a quarter, etc. @Acres - thanks for the kind note! @Tim - I've heard before that part of being an advisor is "show business", although they mean it in a different context. :) OMG two for two! @MDJ – personally, I just keep adding systematically.

Question, do you add to your positions during downturns like these? Or perhaps wait until there are signs of a turn around? Or do you systematically add to your positions regardless of where the market is? Great post Preet. Question, do you add to your positions during downturns like these?
