A few people over the past 18 months have shaken their heads sadly when I’ve said I’ve been buying shares during the bear market.
You might think they were proven right when I was buying in early 2008.
Or you might think I proved them wrong when I was bought at the bottom in March 2009.
Actually, I don’t think either view is right: it’s all hindsight speaking. Timing market direction to pick the exact bottom is near to impossible, which was why I bought throughout the slump.

I have been run off my feet recently, and unfortunately my $1 $2-a-day blogging habit has suffered as a result.
Unfortunate for me, I mean, because I love writing this blog.
(I know a few of you do enjoy regular updates, as you’ve been kind enough to tell me so via email. And we’re now up to 300 subscribers!)
But I do need to find a way to make blogging less time-consuming or, preferably, better paid, as the 10-20 hours a week I spend on Monevator is becoming unsustainable.
Some friends urge me to get more personal and to write shorter, more hands-on posts, with a weekly longer one to provide some meat. I may well explore this route in future, although I hope it doesn’t put off you loyal readers and subscribers!
For now though, I’m not going to finish a commercial property post I’ve been writing in time for tomorrow, so it’s going to have to wait until next week.
Instead here’s a few existing Monevator posts that even regulars might not have noticed before:
I hope you find something to enjoy, and do come back next week!
