Value Investors, Remember Margin of Safety

I agree with JasonC too. Today's market is as rational and predictable as a school of sharks with blood in the water, and it doesn't help that media outlets are out there chumming.

The only value anyone cares about is what they can extract from a company and put in their pocket at the end of the day. Charts mean nothing and only add value to deep pocket players trying to catch smaller investors leaning. It's the thrill of the kill that spurrs the market; nothing more, nothing less. The victom or benificiary companies are merely bait fish chosen by the media for the sharks to feed on. It's not just financials either. I can't think of a single sector you can put your money in without worrying if it will be there tomorrow.

If your looking for safe, value based investing in today's markets, keep your money in your pocket for a little while longer. There's no safe place in this pool for investors with charts or floaties.
