Why is everything down today - particularly oil, gold, silver, and commodity related stocks?

The Dollar is flying...

Thanks! It was more of a rhetorical question since I was expecting this bounce in the dollar.

Why is C down so much? I thought it was less volatile than S or I?

 

[JTH]

Relationships change, like I said in my thread today, when my dad starts buying silver, the trade is over...

Oh and the dollar is apporaching it's 3-year low, some of us are expecting a bounce

Commodity stocks are getting hit the most with the dollar rallying, so tech and small caps have been less affected (or is it effected?) The Dow and S&P are most impacted.

Sometimes I think I'll never understand all this unless I get a degree in Finance. It seems much easier to follow the leaders on the tracker.

The C fund was down the least in the last three days so it was due - my wife will get lower prices with her defined contribution payout and pick up more shares. The same applies toward TSP - get more shares that's the silver linning of lower prices.

Amen, sistah! I'll play follow the leader.

Are you speaking pidgin?

that's the silver linning of lower prices.

Don't mention silver.

Perhaps, because the New Moon is over and we are going toward the bottom around a Full Moon or because is May to sell and go away, or the slow-stochastic was above 80% or so.
