I didn't worry too much about calling the absolute bottom because I really didn't know where or when it would be. What I focused on was building a position of strength in my portfolios for the longer-term because of the emotion and unrest in the markets that provided so many opportunities. Right now I'm in the black in my CDN portfolio and its a very satisfying feeling :)

I called a market bottom (to my father) within a week of the March low. However, this was less impressive since it was the third time I'd called a bottom ;-).

I fully intend to add to my portfolios if we experienced another downturn in the markets - that's why I've been focusing on lowering my exposure to leverage (now below 15%) and working extra hours (although that will now be partially directed to "Wedding Plans")

Examples? There will be a big one revealed when I publish my BNS stock analysis shortly, but if you want send me an email and I'll share with you what I showed Scott earlier last week.

Wouldn't you pour more money in if we neared the March lows?

There are stocks in my portfolio that could still cut, but I'm content to state that I think the worse is behind us (at least from my portfolios composition). I've been looking into a few sectors recently and I'm seeing some impressive changes in operations that signal to me at least that business turning well ahead of what the media is currently focusing on.
I still think I've faired better with the approach I've taken and wouldn't change that strategy if the markets declined further.

but really........can you say this yet? Implying this would imply that the markets stay flat or rise from here and you don't suffer many more dividend cuts.
