It's one of the basic principles of making money on Wall Street. With some stocks trading at their lowest levels in years, you'd think individual investors would be rushing to buy.

We've lost some money in the market during the last few months, which was pretty disappointing, and buying just isn't something we've done recently. Shrinking portfolios have made the thought of buying stocks painful for many individuals, despite the growing talk that some market sectors, particularly technology, are at their best values in years.
