"Wild Goose Chase" Investing Style?

I read with trepidation many investment advice being written these past few months of global uncertainties. Many of us investors are overwhelmed with all the well intended advice; however, what would be the right move? Do we invest in gold now or should we have switched to bond like a few months ago already? Do we go into commodities now that food prices are going up? Or do we go into oil and gas sector?

Whatever decisions you made or whatever action you had already taken; I am sure by now you would have been wiser but will not have ended up much richer or happier. Not now, not yet.

Time is still the essence. Whatever actions or non-actions by you, you will still have to bide by time to see substantial gains. It is still important to go on fundamentals and stick by your decision, your very own judgment, experience and research on facts and figures.

Avoid making hasty decisions and going on a panic selling, buying or switching. Any "Wild Goose Chase" on your part will only hurt your pocket and give you unnecessary stress. This is the time to use your head not your heart.
