Your thinking appears to be rather short term and your reasoning...

Your thinking appears to be rather short term and your reasoning is suspect... almost every stock I have ever purchased - going back to my first stock purchase in 1968 - has dipped after I bought but, in time, good stocks with a good, profitable business behind them, almost always rise as do markets.... it seems odd to me that all you uninvested types keep popping up to warn the rest of us of impending doom. You might not have noticed that all stocks rise and fall in the short and medium term but the good ones, like FMG, only tend to do so within a rising trend over the longer term. No point being right in the very near term but wrong over time - which is where the real profits are made...
