Stock Market: The Thread

[Lhalo]

It's a race to the bottom!

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Stock up on ammo and canned goods!

Market is taking a nose dive today on disappointing earnings from three major companies: Caterpillar, Procter&Gamble, and Microsoft.

Dow was down 300 near the open.

 

A little correction here would not be a bad thing. A lot of people think this market is overvalued right now.

Apple's stock is soaring after-hours on fantastic earnings. Blew away Wall Street estimates.

 

There, I reported some good news. I hope everyone's happy.

Stock market the past few months is like bungie jumping....up and down, up and down, ....

[Adam]

Whether it goes up or down you don't seem to like it.

Like wicked said I'll just continue to buy consistently without worrying about timing. If the shit ever really hits the fan in my lifetime I'm not going to be concerned about my retirement accounts.

As our money man says "at that point we are all ****ed anyway"

[Stradling]

I think at this point I will live better in retirement than I am right now.

Ha. Well you're only f*cked if you have to sell.

When I returned from backpacking around eastern europe the dow had crashed down to like 6 or 7k.

Everyone was screaming murder.

Sure if you sell right then you'd be f*cked.

And a lot of people did, because they were scared of it getting worse.

My stuff was down too, but I kept it. Then also bought as much as I could.

Worked out damn well.

POGs man, 4 lyfe.

Stocks plunged in the last hour today after the Fed indicated it will probably start raising interest rates soon.

 

They'll be taking away the punchbowl and the easy-money party will soon be (thankfully) over. They did say they'd be "patient" in timing the rate hike though, so who knows when it will happen.

after 9/11 the market took a big plunge and my (now ex) B-I-L took a huge hit. we think he lost a couple million. it completely changed him and his personality. he became a lot meaner just in general. my S-I-L ended up divorcing him after she discovered that he was fooling around with another woman during this time.

 

like mrwicked said, you just have to wait it out. we know the market is going to ebb and flow.

[Brandon]

I thought the market was good after 9/11? I could be wrong, but because of the incident everyone started doing low rates on everything and it created a downpour of business and sales across the board.

Even the lowly Ford and Chevys of the world did well because they dropped their personal rates to under 1% "to boost the economy during our rebuilding".

I could be wrong though, I wasn't that big into market conditions back then.

Greek debt talks have collapsed. That's not good.

There's still some hope for a Greek debt deal. The S&P closed above 2,100 for the first time.

Could you imagine eating a formal dinner or just having beers with FS79?

[Schildog]

i'd imagine he's like melvin from as good as it gets and brings his own plastic cutlery in order to avoid ebola.
