Futures suggest we'll be up again today. Good thing you all ran out of your positions.

the board of Trustees at News Corp. aka FOX just approved a deal to buy Dow Jones for $5 Billion

Keep posting articles and explaining the market to me. Buying when things are high and selling when they're low sounds like your path to success.

It went up about 150 today, but that's still down 300 from last thursday. My brother is heavily in the market but didn't get hit too bad because he was one of the assholes selling last thirsday, but he says the American markets are "on steroids"; artificially pumped up in general, and prone to fast gains like today which can be equally followed by fast losses. It's all about when you buy and sell, so some of the biggest losers in the last week were people that were locked into a put at a specific price that was higher than it was worth on that particular day.
I put everything in the mattress myself.

you should start buying as it drops. Open up a position now, and if it keeps dropping keep buying.

Exactly, that's how you get things cheap. You do it in companies that have value and will rebound. Warren Buffet and Robert Graham agree with me, that's all I need.

dropped 284 again today in another friday sell-off. not a good sign.
kind of makes me think that this week's "recovery" was just some wishful thinking, pumping and some stock manipulation by the people behind the sell-off today.

didn't some guy just buy a huge chunk of the Dow??

that 'some guy' was actually rupert murdoch, the kingpin behind the new your post and fox news.
dow jones inc. actually spiked because of it, but that has nothing to do with the companies the index covers.

what's scary is that the title of this thread is accurate for the second week in a row.

well, it was down another 150 points today and 200 points yesterday - all this AFTER getting a transfusion from the fed last friday - so yeah, i think something's up more than the usual hiccups.

down another 200 as of a few minutes ago.

again, today.

lol@pretty much anyone on this board talking about this issue. it makes me laugh, a lot

Oh hey guys, just wanted to come apologize. I was so wrong. What a bad idea it was to buy stocks on the downturn! I mean, had you listened to me you would've lost so much money as the market moved back up to 14087 today.

Whiskey for Breakfast, you're obviously the pro. Sorry.
