DOW down nearly 200 pts in first 15 minutes......HANG ON

[clarkacal]

not going to happen

Look at a chart of the dow jones since 1952. Previous assumptions of gradual growth are irrelevant and outdated. Since 1992 and from now on it will look like a chart of Barney Frank's polygraph results.

LOL, now that everyone has bought a get rich quick book from some infomercial, and 15% of the people are unemployed and sitting at home, the stock market and its daily ups and downs have to be expected. It is basically live betting for addicts who say they dont gamble.

You have these overnight brokers who read a book once on E trade all day buying and selling penny stocks or maybe low priced stuff trying to make a few bucks, pr maybe even trying to get rich. I am surprised it doesnt go up and down even more.

It really is akin to sportsbetting. A few people with a little money in an IRA somewhere sitting around playing the stockmarket and day trading in their underwear, is really no different than degenerates who sit around looking at a screen for 10 hours a day waiting for something ot drop 3 cetns or a half point and hammering it. But the results are usually the same....they all end up broke and the guys with the money continue to sweep up all the other money in the game.

post of the day

The market is the biggest casino in the world.

The market will go up and it goes down. Dow is down a bunch NASDAQ is almost even at noon. This is a stock pickers market.

Good luck!

Dow only down 60 on the day. If you had gotten in when Fish set off the alarm, you'd have done alright today.

I hanged on when I saw this post. Why sell when everyone else is selling? I sold everything I had at 3:59.

Tomorrow is going to go down 300 points at opening.
