When Fear Reaches it's Highest Point, Invest

I truly believe that when the nation is the most fearful, is when the economy (particularly the stock market) will begin to turn around. When everyone feels one way about the economy, you should try and feel the opposite of the trend.

The latest poll shows that 45% of people believe that the economy will fall into a depression. Come on. Do we still believe that this economy that has seen the DOW increase 6 of the past 8 days is going to fall into a depression? This same economy that has seen new building of homes increase 22% in the last month. People on Talkgold.com are all saying how terrible they think the economy will continue to be for years to come (Thoughts on Economy). We aren't falling into a depression. The economy is just about to start a recovery if it hasn't already.

If you recall, right before the housing collapse, the majority of the experts were saying that the housing boom will continue. People were still buying houses, stock etc. Employers were hiring like crazy to expand their businesses. Then BOOM! It all changed.

The same thing will happen with the turn around this current economic situation. It will turn around while experts and the general consensus of the economy is still negative. You watch and see.

Just a little bit of my input.
