The secret is that you cannot control the movements of the stock market but, like zen and tao, you need to get in the flow, and react to what the market does. Constant Value Investing is one method that allows you to "hear" what the market is saying, and automatically buy low and sell high.

“The overall tone that I took from the article was that everybody stepping is a potential victim, whereas I believe you decide what role you will play.”

I certainly think that your stocks and portfolio are somewhat controllable, but you are still subject to the market as a whole. It may move for you, or it may move against you. But there are a lot of factors that are outside of your control.

Of course no one steps into the stock market hoping to be the victim eaten alive. Then again, we often aren’t doing the research. We throw in a few bucks and hope it turns into a few more bucks.

Warren Buffet doesn’t throw his money anywhere. He contemplates his decision–before, during, and constantly thereafter.

I think your chances of being a victim are less intense if you are proactive about your investments.

I really like the last point about keeping an eye on the market. Though I don’t recommend obsessing about it or taking everything going on in the market at face-value, I do wonder how many newspaper subscribers don’t read the business pages!

I was also wondering what you were “thinking” about the stock market, are you warning people about the risks? or telling people to manage it? The overall tone that I took from the article was that everybody stepping is a potential victim, whereas I believe you decide what role you will play.
