Democratic president if office, go all in. It's never failed me yet. Stay conservative in the stock market when there is a republican in office.

I'm always conservative. As long as a company's ability to pay its dividend is secure I don't worry too much about price. Across the board decreases in price says the trading mob sold. Individual sudden price drops can signal trouble within an individual company.

The key is determining whether the sudden price drop is trouble with the company or a stock investors *perception* of trouble with the company.

Well if the balance sheet, cash flow positive are solid and the company appears to be able to be profitable the question is did you pay too much. If when you purchase a stock the yield is good and the above is true then the purchase price was likely fair. In such cases automatic reinvestment of dividends is a good way to build capital in a falling market.

Prices are more often than not irrational. Which is why investing in "growth" stocks can be a gamble.
