Submitted by ellis.anthony on June 17,2008 01:58:07 PM

20%+ drop experimenting with shorting. I think I'm done with for the moment.

Crimson is kicking ass considering he came on at the beginning of Jan with a few of us other poor saps who got clobbered.

Suspicions

Why do I have a sinking suspicion that the Fed will not be able to please the market this week?

i definitely agree, but, one must ask, is this a bottom, or the new top? i plan on waiting these out anyway, its a very long year.

don't sell into it

Submitted by lucas20 on January 22,2008 07:50:03 AM

Don't sell today - the market is hitting a 10% loss over 5-days. This has only happened 6 times. The average return after those 5 days is over 5%. Wait for that, then consider moving to cash or a treasury etf.

5-7% drop today

Submitted by davemitrani on January 22,2008 07:38:35 AM

everything is going to hell! i am actually considering pulling everything out and starting later in the year.

Lame

Not trading is lame that's the whole point right?

Ups and downs

Submitted by lucas20 on January 16,2008 06:15:14 PM

I am assuming a lot of ups and downs this month. Prolly safest to go cash, but I tried that before and it's no fun.

Citi!

Submitted by davemitrani on January 15,2008 09:23:50 AM

Wow, it was a bad call getting in yesterday... I never could have called this Citigroup thing, or would have thought it would be this bad.
