OMG!!! -870?!!!!!!!!!

What is causing it?!!!

WTF just happenned?

Something to do with Greece it looks like...

(Will have to read after the 5th at Churchill..)

Rumor is, someone hit a wrong button somwhere and that's what really plunged the market into the toilet. It snowballed because people thought that it was all about Greece (which is why the market was down anyway). It was very scary there for a while.

Greece could be a preview. People need to take a serious look at what is going on over there.

And a dark malaise falls over the board ""experts"...wondering why they know less than the average quark.





These are really fun to read,though.

Some posters, even hysterical.

I don't want to mention my favorites so as not to upset the gold crowd.

~ yawn ~

Pardon me … little tired from the workout tonight

Anyway, just got done placing another BUY order with Vanguard

Have plenty of cash on hand to pick up additional shares (of VLACX) if the S&P continues to tank


Gotta love when *panic* sets in…

Only kumquats use i-net yawns anymore.

Pardon me … little tired from the workout tonight

What--busy bee night at the turnpike?

Anyway, just got done placing another BUY order with Vanguard

Vanguard sounds like a floor wax.

Have plenty of cash on hand to pick up additional shares (of VLACX) if the S&P continues to tank

The turnpike staff people will be suspicious,don't ya thank? You better put the cash back before it's too late.

Gotta love when *panic* sets in…

Uh..you forgot to end with your dimwit Mr.Cool Face.



Go fucl< yourself.

ftfy

Another fat finger today? Just a glitch I'm sure. Morons.

The market was looking for a reason to come back..Greece is just convenient.
A lot of good April indicators though....Not to sound like SO, but I think it's a great time to buy. Even if it drops another 1,000, there are still a lot of bargains out there.

Any big drop like that is definitely a good time to buy!

Sure it is, the Nasdaq was a bargain when it dropped from 5000 to 4000 in 2000....oh wait, its sitting at 2299 10 years later and we've had inflation during that time. Go team. :)

I will redboard and say that I rarely am in the NASDAQ

S&P same deal really. I thought the buy and hold sheep were gone. Fact is fraud has stolen from us all.

Slept like a baby last night


Gunna continue to accumulate shares, randall

We'll compare notes in, say, 20 or 25 years and see who made the better bet.



And Morty … Vanguard is DEFINITELY not a "floor wax". :$: :cool:

Euro bailout. market set to open up HUGE. Dow futures up almost 400 points.

It's all just so ridiculous

Last week gave new meaning to stop-loss orders. At least the traders (those that were out! lol) were all smiles this w/e.

BUY BUY BUY LEMMINGS. We will print into eternity

More bailout weekends ahead. ****ing idiots. Great job on that last euro one. It lasted about a day.

Uh oh.

You guys still worried about inflation?

You will be shining shoes in 20 years with your accumulation strategy.

:cool:

Bear market signs. Crushed during the week and up on Friday... Everyone goes home happy thinking the worst is over....

You got it wrong, randall

You'll be shining my shoes in 20 years … while Pants is out in the parking lot shining the Benz. :cool:

Zenyatta just took a dump. You are needed back there.

If I was any more relaxed I'd turn into Zenyatta.

Of course, having an ice-cold bottle of Trumer Pils next to the keyboard doesn't hurt


Anyway, more confident than ever that this is just another correction in the powerful OBAMA stock market rally which began in March of '09.

In fact, looks like a mighty fine time to BUY into some short-term market weakness … so that's exactly what we did a short time ago.

25 large worth of Vanguard's S&P 500 index fund shares, to be precise


Look for that broad market index to make new yearly highs in the coming months


Randall, jms62 and the other DOOMERS can keep their money under the mattress…

Okay Zenyatta...

you're 8 wide around the turn and Smitty is breaking out the stick.

This doesnt look too :cool: Zen.

You simply aren't very bright. It's not your fault. Keep hope alive...I will continue doing MATH.

Ah, more knuckleheads riding the big guy.


Your little metaphor is cute, dala … but a bit misguided.

You see, we haven't even reached that backstretch yet.

Finish line is nowhere in sight at this point…


And randy … have a feeling that I'll be looking for someone to trim the shrubs at my Oahu estate at some point down the road.

I'll certainly keep you in mind. :cool:

Pete Carroll or Reggie Bush?

:D

The good news is that we haven't reached the backstretch yet. The bad news is that your horse is being pulled up.

Not on some bogus Pletch router like Keyed Entry, Mr. Pumpkin…

We're so used to the market always coming back that some people assume that every correction is a buying oppurtunity. That's not always the case. Look at the Japanese market. It was over 40,000 back in around 1989. Here we are 21 years later and what's their market at now? I haven't checked it lately but I think it's around 10,000.

The same can be said about our real estate market. We hit a high a few years ago that we may never see again in our lifetime. If we do, it will probably be in 40 years from now.

Anyway, I've had money in the stock market practically my whole life and I am totally out of the market right now. I think there is very little upside (5-10%) but there is huge downside (50-60% or possibly more).

P.S. It's not "Pumpkin". It's "Pupkin". He was the main character in the movie "The King of Comedy".

It was an honest mistake.

I'm sure he just assumed that you're from the SEC.

Nice timing Senator!

At least property values are down as well, including that Ohahu dream home.

Time to double down?

zenyatt -enomics?

I'd like to short the market right now but it looks so oversold short-term that I'm not going to do it. I'm going to wait and hope we get a bounce. I'd like to see a bounce back above 10,000 and preferably in the 10,200-10,500 range. I hope I don't miss the big move down while I'm waiting for the short-term bounce.
