Re: How Low Can It Go?

and from the bastion of conservatism (sarcasm) USA Today:

Stocks fall to lowest level since 1997 as Dow drops below 6,800 - USATODAY.com

from the article: "It's a bloodbath, pure and simple," says Scott Black, president and portfolio manager at Delphi Management. "This is a vote of no confidence in the Obama administration. It doesn't matter what you own, everything is going down. It is a total capitulation. People are just terrorized and are throwing in the towel."

Re: How Low Can It Go?

I wish I had money to invest right now. I'd buy Ford and General Electric. GE was at 7$ bucks a share. If they do turn around some people are going to make a lot of money.

Smart people make money in a down economy. I just wish I was smarter at this type of thing.

AIG is doing a great job at dragging the market down right now.

Re: How Low Can It Go?

How low will it go? It depends on how many more times Obama speaks in public.

I have an asshole too and I am capable of taking a dump. The good news is Mr. Black won't pay just 15% capital gains tax on his income, and Delphi Management will be regulated and their investments portfolio will become transparent.

Haters are out in full force, Lord Obama warned us about people like Mr. Black.

Re: How Low Can It Go?

The real question is how low will it stay and for how long? At this point 5000 is not out of the question.

That is true but for retired people with all their savings in the market they are getting hammered. Most people do not realize that as you start to get close to retiring you should move your money to fixed products so you know its safe. Then maybe keep some made money in the market to play around with.

Re: How Low Can It Go?

I've begun to increase my monthly contributions to my retirement accounts and to my daughter's 529 (she's 2).

Now is a very smart time to steadily buy back in - if you have 10 years or more before you need the money.
