This is why we need to each economics and finance in high school. Jeez.

Yeah I can't believe how people come to these conclusions. Like they just make up something in their minds just to fit stuff into their self made slots.

It's kind of shame PM & AM are something retail cannot participate in. That and the IPO drought benefit the "haves" more than anything. Sure the logic is that it's for their own good, but I don't buy that idea.

Obama bad! Economy bad! ACA BAD!

 

[Amory]

Man, buyers made some money today. Wish I had some more liquid funds so I could've gotten in on it.

 

[Bigboss242]

No we didn't recover from 2007 2008. Look at all the people on food stamps all we did was print money. Oh and bail out the banks.

Your trading platform doesn't allow pre-market and after hours trading? My discount broker doesn't allow trading as early as 6 a.m., but I can still begin trading at 8 a.m. Likewise I only get to trade until 5 p.m., not until 8, but it's still plenty of time for earnings.

Sure, but saying the new normal is bad isn't the same thing as still being in a recession. Recession is a term with a very limited meaning.

Yeah, one of my regrets from HS and college is not taking economic courses. Well, we were forced to take an ECONOMY course, but its was freaking bare bones, now that I look back at it. Like GDP means ________. Seems like they don't get into the REAL way the economy works and when we exit its like we don't know how to involve ourself in investments, etc.

First of all, I'm sure you're aware that bank bail out money was returned in full and 50B profit was made on it. Secondly, a lot of measures that have been used for decades upon decades to measure economic strength did recover and are still recovering.

My dad texted me this morning saying we are absolutely going to correct 25% 2008/2009 style. He hasn't texted me back yet.

invest in a time machine and try to go back to 4 hours ago

Well that was a quick buying window...

Oh well at least I didn't lose much money.

Is your father an investment analyst?

 

[Tallshortman]

Looks like US markets have rallied, probably people feasting after the panic.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

No. It's actually funny. Everything he claims financially always turns out the opposite.

 

[AstroNut325]

No. It's actually funny. Everything he claims financially always turns out the opposite.

Perhaps that's good method. You're dad is a genius!

lol, do you rub it in his face? Thats hilarious

 

[OctoMan]

I really think we're going to crash and burn again this afternoon.

.



We're falling again here boys. I really think people will want to he as out of much as possible after the close and being exposed to the open Chinese markets. Guessing 1900 for the s&p.

 

[Ecotic]

There's a real battle for direction here going into the close.

 

[norinrad]

Could China be in the same situation as Japan in the 90s? At least Japan is a fully developed country. I'm not so sure about China. Interesting times.

 

[GaimeGuy]

The markets are rational, guys!

 

[D'ultimate]

What do you think about the market tomorrow? Up or down?

 

[cartoon_soldier]

What do you think about the market tomorrow? Up or down?

I am wondering how Indian market will do. Try to get in tomorrow morning or wait till end of day. Ugh

 

[Zips]

I'm done with major purchases and expenses for the next 5+ years at least. I really need to learn more about this so I can put the extra savings I have to work.

 

[OctoMan]

What do you think about the market tomorrow? Up or down?

All depends on what happens with China overnight.

 

[cirrhosis]

What do you think about the market tomorrow? Up or down?

I'll better be able to make a guess/decision after seeing what Chinese markets do later this evening or early morning when they open up.

After what the the U.S. market did today after making up roughly 600 points from a steep drop, I'd lean towards another one. who knows though, lol

 

[Flo_Evans]

I think overall trend is down. Lots of money to be made playing with volatility but obviously dangerous.

 

[milanbaros]

If you were able to answer that with anything other than a complete guess you'd be the richest person on the planet by Christmas.

 

[toxicgonzo]

China is gonna dictate the direction, I'm not sure which.

Go all in on YINN or YANG, the 300% China ETF.

YOLO.

 

[Flo_Evans]

YOLO.

Is yinn the positive force or is that yang?

 

[OctoMan]

Is yinn the positive force or is that yang?

Yinn is the bull (upwards) etc (think stock). Yang is the bear.

 

[D'ultimate]

Going down down down down down down.

Talking now, not tomorrow.

Short covering may happen going into the close.

 

[cirrhosis]

So much for all those gains. Back to mirroring the -1089 from early this morning?

Excuse me while I overclocked my Bitcoin miners....

My company stock is down 5 perce today despite all these posts on how things should go up.

Fuck what gaf says, im selling.

Why? Do you need money now? Don't get why you would get all flustered over this.

Then wait for it to rise and buy back in right? There is a reason most stock investors make no where near market return.

Owning your own company's stock is a terrible idea in terms of diversification though, so you probably should have sold as soon as you could have.

Guess when your most likely going to lose your job? It isn't when the stock price is doing great I can guarantee you.

There's no sense in doing that unless you're going to invest the money elsewhere or you hope you can buy it back at a lower price.

 

[darkwing]

woah the Dow was down 1,000 at one point then went back to only 100 down, but now it is 600 down?

How do you think it dipped to -1000 in the first place?

EVERYBODY PANIC

 

[OctoMan]

S and p 500 back down 87 points!


Lost almost all of that mid day rally and below the 1900 I projected to close at.

 

[darkwing]

looks like the mid day rally only helped that much, probably going to stay at -4% til closing

I am super clueless about the stock market, and it's really not something I would do except I was given company stock when I joined. I've seen it drop 15+ percent in the last few months. It's time for me to bail, and possibly learn more and invest elsewhere.

 

[Kathian]

Mid Day rally was the people in this thread who declared it was buying time and the people who wanted to make money of those peoples ignorance. End of year we'll be down on start of year - what happens in between is just volatility.

 

[Mookee]

Yep, I set buy set triggers for Apple last night at $99 when the premarket was down only 400 and thought I'd be lucky if it hit. Instead I wake up and find my buy orders hit at the 9:30 opening bell for $95. If I had woken up earlier I could have gotten in as low as $92. Apple has already fallen 25% since the $132 highs and was oversold, so it was a no brainer. It had an RSI of 25 (meaning very oversold) on closing bell Friday so it was one of the easiest decisions I've ever come across to buy on further weakness.

So if my math is right: To make 34k just today you bought about $400,000 worth of AAPL this morning and sold later on in the day? Is that right?
