    Long Term- Future of the Market

    If double digit inflation, even hyperinflation, comes as a result of Fed miscalculation, where is the best place to ride it out?

    Tsp

    350zCommtech's Account Talk

    There is a problem with circuit breakers. For stocks, which could see the same fate, the intent was that the maximum loss on the DOW could be 30%. Problem is that this is not 30% from the previous day's closing, but is calculated quarterly. Today, the DOW could lose 3,350 points before markets...

    Short selling comes back today

    Market Talk / Oct. 5 - 11
