You still get reactionary big bounces after big drops but it is usually marked by lower highs and lower lows when you pan out. 52 week lows sound great, unless you see 3-10 years lows after that.

You are an engineer so we know you can learn and bounce back.

Newer, inexperienced investors should have someone they can count on to bounce ideas off of.

No, but I'll be doing some research on what to buy if the market doesn't bounce back too quick. 

I feel this crisis is going to have a larger impact on the US economy than the AU economy, although we will both be hit hard, and things wont be the same again afterwards, I have a feeling that AU will bounce back a little quicker than US so I'm guessing range between 0.60 - 0.65 will be around par...

My commits are get someone local to bounce idea off.

While I am not the most experienced investor I would be happy to bounce ideas back and forth.

...one of the most common answers is "perseverance" --the ability to repeatedly bounce back time, and time again from failures (especially really big failures)...so, try not to get too discouraged; every successful investor experiences setbacks and failures--it's not possible to succeed in RE investing without some major bumps & bruises along the way...Good luck out there!

Bounced around all the bedrooms thinking the same - maybe it was just the one.Yup - contacted Zinus.

Quote from @Vince Biegel: I love the bigger pockets community to bounce ideas off the group.
