    get me an opinion from an 8 year old while you're at; both weighted the same.

    wish in one hand, shit in the other...


    you can't "wish" this market to a crash. The shit in your other hand could be cash piling up.

Absolutely worse case scenario is they get bought out but more likely they get back to $30.
    If I was a humble person I'd say this wasn't easy.


    Don't even want to but I have to sell $NFLX now, 89 to 108. Crazy day.

    tomorrow obviously going to be watched by the world

    Historically after drops like today the market is up 1,2,3,5,30 days after...

    However, even today I had full confidence the market would recover but not in 1 day. That is just crazy after the kind of opening but at the same time the opening wasn't exactly true numbers because of the safety stuff setup.

    My gut is telling me market psychology is going to cause a rip up tomorrow.

    Something tells me we will still be able to manage StubHub transactions, $6 stadium hot dogs and tailgating fun in two weeks regardless of what happens here. I never understand the mass exterior panic regarding the news cycles.

    some profit taking going on now.

    One important thing to remember about corrections, besides they are common, is they can't be predicted; just like this one. This all started when China devalued their currency which no one saw coming. On side note, it should be viewed as an act of war considering their history.

    what you're going to have after this correction is a more unforgiving market. No more tossing a dart at the board and getting a winner, need to do some work and pick stocks that have a real numerical reason for moving like $LL

    $IBB will be the bell weather for what I said I think. Probably just tech in general but either way, keep an eye on tech.

    Market is big ponzi scheme.
    All of world's major markets need to crash at nearly same time.
    Make the slaves suffer for a year or two, then introduce a one world digital currency complete with your very own RFID. The ones who caused the mess will give the masses of asses the cure.
    People will beg for this beast system so they can get back to watching Bruce Jenner, Kartrashians and buy that new rap CD.

    Forex traders loving every minute of this. I hadn't made a trade in a month. Patience paying off now though.

    For us, bull markets good, bear markets good. Stagnant markets, not so much.

    But it's good to not have to worry about anything any of you guys are talking about right now. FX trader's accounts not dependent on what the economy does. Currency world keeps right on spinning.

    Already dun good today. Can either get better, or hit my trailing stop and take a nice profit. Water's just fine over here.

    Wish you guys the best though. There's opportunity out there, that's for sure.

    I don't doubt you killed it but why wouldn't you throw some in trades in this market? For example, when China devalued their currency that had to have affects and they played out in spades for YANG 3x china short.

    If I was going to make a ten cent prediction too, we will need a retracement, a few smaller up days in a row, to restore confidence in investors and shake out the weaker shorts before really taking it down further. Look for that very set-up if a recession does start to happen.

    Same reason I almost never bet on sports anymore. I'm an advantage player, and when you finally find something you have a really good advantage at, you tend to focus all of your efforts there. I don't have an advantage in equities IMO, at least not a good one. No need.

    No, because I don't trade on calling bottoms and tops. Markets can and do stay "oversold" for a long long time. No interest in playing that game. I'll let everyone else try to figure that one out.

    Possibility of buying silver in the future, but not high on the list right now.

    People that got out of the market in 2008/2009 are kicking themselves now. Long-Term investments in good growth stock mutual funds with proven track records over 10+ years is the way to go.

    I'm investing for the long-term and how I do over the next 25 years is what's important on top of what I've done over the last 25 is what matters.

    Blue Light Special as far as I am concerned. Since I am maxed out on 401k and IRA, I guess I'll buy more mutual funds!

    You sound like a genuine person doing what's been taught and is responsible, But i liken your story to an old WW2 pilot who was shot in the chest and bleeding out and knew he'd die and crash before getting back to base.
    So, he just took his plane and dive bombed in the heart of the enemy.
    If your gonna go in, go in all the way, double up and GET SOME!
