If the market were a man, I'd have to file rape charges.

Oil and gas are dropping like stones, but now people are hitching that its due to a weak global economy. You just can't win.

Also, Lehman is in bad shape, which apparently is more important than Fannie and Freddie being in good shape, relatively speaking.

Look into estate notes. 8% for 2 years, buy at par, A+ rated.

I don't know to each their own I suppose. I'm a broker and I'm staying in, even if it kills me.

It will bounce back, trying to time it is impossible. But by missing the first 10 days of the turn around you stand to lose like a 10% return. One of the fund families sent the information to me I thought it was very interesting.

Just got my monthly statement in the mail today, and I'm actually up about seven grand from last month, first time that's happened in a while.

It would have to be a staggering year to make up for the last 12 months' losses, I have a hard time believing that missing the change by a month would be as bad as continuing to leak funds like a weeping sore.

Hey your up 7k that's good.

I just really believe in staying put. Hell, I'm not going to be retiring anytime soon so if I loose 20% this year and then do 10%for the next few years I'm ok with that. Plus once you average everything out returns are usually around 8-17% for most growth mutual funds.

Oh, jeez well the republicans would have us to believe that anytime they are in office that roses will sprout from our butts on the economic front. How, oh how, could the market keep tanking when we've had a republican in office for 8 years now? Maybe it is because there are about a million other factors that are more important than who is in office? Don't tell the republicans.

why should you complain, it equals more business owners/home owners you will gleefully get to throw out on their asses
