Stock Market: The Thread

[TobiasFunke]

Thanks Fan!

[fan_since79]

Yesterday the market soared, Dow up some 260 points. Today it's tanking, down 216 and still falling.

 

Yesterday everyone was happy over positive earnings and low interest rates, today everyone is concerned about "global growth woes".

 

Enjoy the rollercoaster ride. The VIX, an index of volatility on the S&P 500, is up 11% today.

We just bought property behind the Great Wall. On the good side!

Some headlines from a two-month period in 2011 when the market was behaving in a similar fashion, jumping 200 points one day and dropping the next day. One day euphoria, the next day depression.

and most fast food joints.

Hmm, good use of the word most

[nate]

And all In N Outs not in the state of Wisconsin.

[Stradling]

Jealous much? You chose to move away Nate. Let me know when you come back to visit I'll treat you and your family to INO.

[nate]

Lol, thanks.  I just miss INO.  I will be out there in May for a wedding, I may take you up on it.

[halobob]

Man, every time INO is brought up on these boards I end up going within a couple of days.

My work here is complete.

[nate]

I think I figured it out, Strad...

 

Open a DC in Bloomington, IL

 

Open INO stores in Metro Chicago, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, St Louis, and depending on how far you can go... Cinci, Louisville, KC

 

Make money... and me happy.

[fan_since79]

Down 400 when the market opened, recovered somewhat, now falling again, down 250.

 

Slowdown in consumer spending, weak global growth...

 

Good news is plunging oil prices which will produce lower gas prices. I bought gas yesterday at ARCO for $3.41/gallon.

Crazy rally into the close

[Blarg]

People should be buying the shit out of any company that has a Ebola vaccine in the works.

[mrwicked]

I bet airline stocks will get hammered from Ebola stuff too.

Short it down.

Head to the pub for a pint while this all blows over.

Then buy back like crazy.

Netflix just announced earnings, down 25% after hours.

Unreal. Headlines everywhere this morning were saying they were going to crush Wall Street's estimates.

 

Glad I didn't buy in today.

I was just watching CNBC a few days ago when billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn was trying to trump up his Apple stock. He has huge stakes in Netflix and Transocean (stock symbol: RIG). His Transocean stock is doing even worse than what happened to Netflix, check out the chart on that one. I think he is doing his best to help close the wealth gap in America with those stock selections.
