RealMoneyIssues' Account Talk

My friend you are standing on the bottom right now - look up and see if there is any sky above.
 
My sticky pants have been blown to shreds... the bottom keeps going down, where is the bottom? 10000 9000 8000 7000 ...

Booga booga boo!

Chillax pal, it's all just funny money, ones and zeros in the ether, no real value (just the promise of some - maybe) until you actually spend it. You weren't planning on spending it today were you?

A poem to cheer you up:

markets tumble, people cry
happens sometimes, who knows why
hold your line, you'll get it back
turn off the news, go have a snack
 
If the world is not ending can you visualize the rebound from R2K at 752 - many bears are going to get crushed in the stampede. I'm trying to stay positive in all this insanity.

I'm staying positive as long we don't have more days like this, then I will capitulate. Every 1% drop in the S fund is 15K for me. So on paper, I am down 37.5K just today.

Oh man. And here I'm crying about losing a few hundred a day. I guess thank you for making me feel somewhat better.

You have got to be kidding me Dow down 410 points...

And when are we supposed to bail to save what little we have left???
 
The Dow has biggest 10-session drop since 2009 - and you know what happened after those lows. I made my first $1M n 53 weeks in my oceanic account.

So do we wait until the market is down 20% to confirm a bear market, or do we throw in the towel now. BT, you have been very bullish this entire time. Your losses have GOT to be huge. I know I don't need the money for a few more years, but now if I make a 10% a year gain it is going to be based on 70% of the money it could have been based on... I wish I would have sold last Friday like I should have... I am now a buy and holder...
 
Has your life changed yet - there will be no recession. Bernanke will not allow it this time around. I believe the best policy is to ride this cycle and wait for better days. This is only emotional selling by some raising cash getting out of risk assets. Patience is a virtue and acceptance of pain means discipline.
 
Well TSPTalk, we have now filled the gap on the $RUT from Dec 1st 2010. Sounds as good a support of any of the other crap people are talking about...

I think I remember you were the gap fill guy... right?
 
S&P BLEW through support at 1180 and DJIA is down over 200, so there doesn't seem to be an end. I will be broke in about 6 more trading days.

Going to go look at the VIX, it has GOT to be way up there... 38.7 another 20% jump.
 
Well, now that there is some upswing, I am thinking about taking some of my money out of longs and going short since I really think the news this afternoon will cause another drop...
 
I'm not going to wait on Bernanke - I'm going back into the market and do some more opportunistic buying - my greed can't resist these golden prices. This is how I made my money over the years.
