Investing in a Down Market is SCARY - Share Your Stories!

Hi BP, newbies and experienced investors alike!

As Mr. Kiyosaki himself said, "Smart investors don't time the markets. If they miss a wave, they search for the next one and get themselves in position. This is hard for most investors because buying what is not popular is frightening."

I would love to hear your stories of investing in a down market, how you prepared for the "wave", your expectations v.s. reality, challenges and resolutions, and ultimately how everything - including the anxiety and uncertainty - payed off!

Thanks in advance,

- Raquel Pea
