    buy it now, but be prepared to hold it

    i agree with the opinion that this correction will be lengthy, and itll be a year, maybe two, before she climbs back up to pre-correction heights

    The market will be volatile for a while yet; but if you have a mid to longer term outlook, IMO it's fine to buy in where you see opportunities. I would average in rather than going all in in one hit.

    Two days ago I bought more ASX as they are expected to report well next week. I also bought Macquarie bank when the market reacted to the Boss retiring. FWIW I have increased the portfolio by about 20% since the big correction. Still have cash reserves waiting for opportunities.

    My outlook is Blue chip mid to long term. I don't trade much unless something goes wrong in the stock

    I agree with you there 360. Although I probably started to buy a little early (2 weeks ago) and the shares have continued to drop a bit, my pruchase price was still a lot lower than the highs pre Xmas. (Bought banks etc)

    The dividend payments I suspect will be similar so as a percentage should give a good return even though the capital growth in the short to medium term may be minor.

    Thats my theory anyway. :) Only time will tell.
