Should hold out to make purchases once the little (and some big) fish die off. It will keep buying in emerging markets.

Hasn't been sucked into bad markets.  Made a series of very small acquistions and is hopefully smart enough to pick up some of the emerging market assets that larger Banks like Citigroup, RBS, etc. could potential have to sell to raise cash if the market stays down for a while.

Shop Wisely for the Long Term

I'm sure as investors we've all seen the studies which indicate that over the long term we are better off being invested in the market, rather than not. Removing your money from the market for even a few days or weeks as part of an attempt to time the market can really handicap you from garnering good long term returns because nobody can predict what the market will do; and often the upward moves are quick and powerful.

Case in point - yesterday as the S&P 500 index soared over 11%, the largest one day gain ever. Some stocks were up as much as 18%. The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) was up 17.6%

One really has to think this was only a matter of time...

E*Trade sells Canadian arm

E*Trade (ETFC) is raising cash again. The struggling New York-based online broker agreed Monday to sell its E*Trade Canada unit to Scotiabank (BNS) for $442 million in cash, in a move that the company says will generate more than $511 million in proceeds. E*Trade has been selling assets and otherwise cutting back since previous management led by Mitchell Caplan led a disastrous foray into mortgage-backed securities. The company said in April that it aimed to bring in more than $500 million this year by selling assets, and also plans to trim holding company debt by $700 million by turning de
