I love the image you chose for this post, @bengy. It is such a great lead-in to the concepts you covered in your article.

I’ve always been risk averse, myself. Not because I have any nerd chops, but because I’ve been burned big time by investments in the past and I know it can hurt for quite a while when a bear market happens. That said, I think you’re right that this is a better time to evaluate who’s on a stable foundation (or still afloat, to use the boat analogy), and consider those for long-term buys.
