    Nah I don't use stops on short term options. I use a fall on the sword strategy. But, like betting games you do not hit everyone.

    For long term investments, I never sell. For sure I have bonds and stocks I've had for 20+ years. You never pay taxes if you never sell.

    This is a great day for adding to your collection.

    May say it next week too.

    If you are buying to invest and not trade these pull backs are great opportunities. Or you can buy 10 year bonds and make 2.8% or maybe CD's at 2%. The point being stocks will easily out perform both over the long term like always.

    How are those people doing that bought at 12000 when the market dumped 15% back in 2007?

    four years later there investments are down 10%

    you only have one lifetime to wait for a return on your investment, not 50.

    Well if BAC goes to $1 he can sell it for a loss and get a tax refund. It will make sense to dump it at that point.

    Walker has been hit hard but his bankroll is big so he keeps coming at you until he gets it back

    Pavy you were saying sell last year when I was saying buy. After your doomsday call the market went up 25% but I didn't bust your chops.

    Anyway I've been buying since the Dow was 700. Now it's 11000 which does not even count a ton of dividends. So you bears enjoy your day. The rest of us got some buying to do.

    True I was wrong by 1 year.

    Good luck with your investments. Seems like you know what you are doing.

    The Dow hit 11,800 in 2000. That is 11 years ago. Most people can't name the CEO of every stock they own. They deserve to lose. Even people who manage hundreds of million and billions cannot tell you about the management of the company.

    What a great 12 year investment...........

    .............and it's not going anywhere for the next 12 years, except down.


    Unless the USA bombs 6-7 countries into obscurity OR they have no involvement overseas worth mentioning, the DOW is going nowhere but down.....................ONLY CHANCE FOR THE DOW.
