Buying stocks

It’s easy to be pessimistic about the stock market, watching it fall and fall even farther these days. But it’s smarter just to watch it go down in the expectation of discovering when it finally finds the bottom of the current descent. That will be the time to buy good stocks at low prices undreamt of in a lifetime. For one thing is pretty certain: the market will go back up again, and losers now could be gainers in the future. The only question is when to start buying again?

ADDENDUM: Meanwhile, as the Seablogger advises: "Be patient. Hold fast."

UPDATE:  Some obviously were buying in the historic, Oct. 13 rally. Remains to be seen if this is the end of the free-fall. 

Gibson, Couric? No sweat.

Sarah tells Hugh Hewitt that she can brush off the gotcha games:

"Oh, I think they’re just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying you know what? It’s time that normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency, and I think that that’s kind of taken some people off guard, and they’re out of sorts, and they’re ticked off about it…"

Read it all.

One war

As the Town Hall dot com ad puts it, When was the last time you saw a top American general interviewed at length by the MSM? Hugh Hewitt interviews Gen. John Abizaid, of Central Command, who brings us up to date. The transcript is here.

"HH: Is it all one war, General? Afghanistan, Iran, the Hezbollah-Israeli battle?

"JA: Well, from where I sit, it’s all connected. And whether it’s one war or not can be debated from a political perspective. But from a military perspective, as I look at it, the…all of the lines lead back to one or two sources. They either lead back to Sunni-sponsored extremism, or to Shiia-sponsored Iranian extremism. And sometimes, on occasional points in the battlefield, they even cooperate with one another. So it’s certainly connected. No doubt in my mind."
