The market is very daunting and to throw your hard earned money into the market right now is something that many people struggle with. With prices so low and dividend yields so high, it's very tempting though. Investors need to break out of the behavioral finance patterns of the past and stop buying in up markets and selling in down markets. That completely goes against the one most obvious piece of investing advice that everyone has heard, which you mentioned at the beginning of the article, to buy low and sell high. People just need to be careful that they are still investing in great companies with a high dividend yield to make sure that the yield is sustainable. Although it's the last resort for many companies, many are going to have to cut or even stop paying dividends for a while to get through the recession, but if you can hold strong on positions in companies you know will make it you'll be in good shape. Always a pleasure to read your blog Tyler. Keep up the good work! So true about investor psychology.

He has bought preferred shares which yield a dividend of 10% annually. Main street investors like you or me do not get the same deal when we buy the common shares. Buffett also get the option to buy 5 Billion dollars worth GS common @115.00 in the future. I have great respect for Warren Buffett but I am not too excited in following his recent investments. Instead I would prefer to plough some money in his past investments (which he continues to hold) like P&G, Kraft, Coke et al.
