After getting home from last night's meeting I logged into my Schwab
account and placed six limit orders for the next day, each up to a
buck below Thursday's closing prices. All were filled within the first
hour as the markets continued to slide. By the end of the day the Dow
was up $60 and I made several thousand dollars today.

Don't sell in a panic and don't buy in a boom. Be a contrarian to the
market: Buy in a panic and sell in a boom.
