Markets tank a good time to invest?

[jbrace]

If the bill doesn't end up passing, is it a good idea to invest once the market falls even more? If so what markets/companies would be good to look at?

Yess... good P/E... people will always need more storage... and more affordable storage too.

It's what I am in at the moment.

Trying to predict the bottom-out can be very difficult. It may not be for years to come.

If we have hyper inflation, that will occur before the market thinks about picking back up.

Then things like gas, food and automobiles may double/triple/quadruple in prices. You won't have any buying power with whatever money you are thinking about investing.

Gold, silver and commodities are a good way to store your value until then. You may triple the amount of dollars you have, but prices on everything may triple which means you won't have gained anything... but then at least you have something to invest if/when this mess is over.

"When the VIX is high, it's time to buy. When the VIX is low, it's time to go" -- the VIX is a volatility measure for the Dow. A high VIX is anything above 40, and a low VIX is anything below 20. You'll find that anything above 40 and below 20 doesn't stay there for long. Currently the VIX is at 46, so I'd say it's time to buy

But exactly what to buy?? That's the question...EVERYTHING got hammered today...except my Gold

don't try and catch a falling knife.

but pick it up when it hits the ground?

I was thinking if the markets to go down, and the bill doesn't pass and we let the market take its natural course then we are gonna go through some rough times and the market will be low but then it will pick back up because what I understand the market goes in cycles..
