Just look at commodity price swings; it is outright crazy. In general, October is a good time to jump in. Personally, I tend to follow this rule, but right now I cannot come up with any reasonable opinion.

Wait a minute, are you saying government intervention(s) are causing the problems in the financial markets? I thought it was the other way around. What kind of crazy government would want to blow a wad of money on government bailouts weeks before an election?
