I started buying shares based on broker recommendations around the market peak (Was it November 2008). After the crash and with share purchase plans and buying some more shares at the bottom I have a few gains but a whole lot of losses. My idea was to invest for the long term.
Reading some articles from the market oracle and the daily reckoning etc I can't help thinking that there is worse to come.
I have trouble selling my losses as I will crystalise them when I sell the shares but then again if there is worse to come I could always buy them back cheaper in a years time.
From reading i understand market timing is difficult at best but it could also be profitable if you get it right.

The question may have already been asked somewhere else in this forum but should I cut my losses and wait for the next bottom on the share market or is this really the beginning of a long slow recovery.
