Yesterday was bad, so was today.
ATVI? Down 4.61%. It's the basically the second time I watch this stock go down on good news because of shitty market conditions.
CAE (CGT) down 2% today. In the red.
IMMR down 6.79% (down somewhere along similar numbers yesterday), and moreso in after hours. In the red.
TTWO down 3.87%, in the red. Been going down for some time now since the Manhunt 2 crap.
So yeah I'm losing money. Oh well.
Oh yeah, and of course the US dollar keeps on falling, which makes it all the worst:| What a waste of money. What's the point of investing in the right company if the market is going to sink it even on record earnings.

Yep, Crox seems to have found support and is slowly crawling its way back up, even while the rest of the market continues to dive.nakedsushi said:
I found an interesting article about Crox 2 days ago:
http://seekingalpha.com/article/52780-crocs-the-next-deckers
Companies that bring in over a billion dollars in revenue in a year (which Crox did this past year) aren't a fad.
I bought more shares of Crox this week at around 35.00. I believe in the longterm horizon of this company, and believe it is way oversold.

I am buying a substantial amount of shares of EMC Monday. It has been beaten down recently and looks like a hell of a bargain at its current price. It's price still hasn't fully reflected the outstanding performance of VMWare (which it owns 86% of) but will eventually.
Over a short horizon, six months or less, stocks are extremely hard to predict and can go either way, no matter how good of a company it is. Good companies over the long term WILL earn better than market returns. You just have to stick with them and they will deliver.Ether_Snake said:

Anyone can explain what would happen if the Yuan climbed to a more reasonable value?

While I generally believe market timing is bad, I'm probably going to hold out on my Roth this year and go for a new car. My current car is 16 years old. It's doing fine right now, but with the USD going down and the market generally over-valued, I figure it is a decent gamble to get a Honda Civic before Honda adjusts for USD being worth shit, and investing next year -- especially if we crash. In that even, I'm going to jack up 401k to something like 20%.
EDIT:
I haven't been paying attention in a few days. It looks like the adjustments may be taking place. There appears to be a sharp dive going on in stocks that I think are grossly over-valued. Should be interesting to see if this continues.
Does anyone think AMZN is worth holding onto? This thing is sinking like a rock and has already ditched nearly 20% of the value from when I bought it. I was going to hold thinking that the Christmas season would lift them a bit, but I'm afraid with the P/E ratio being so high that this will be seeing the $50-60 range before it gets a bump, and then the bump will only put it back in the $70s. Any thoughts?

Ouch ouch ouch, TTWO is doing terrible today. < 15! Good day to buy, I guess.
I took advantage of Nvidia dropping down to 31 and bought some to hold till the end of the year.

I'm going down big time (IMMR at 13, bought it at 17). I'm holding on everything, but there is no way in hell that I will buy anything, even tho I see good opportunities. You never know when low is low. I prefer to rely on overall recovery to give me a hint that a low was actually a low. As far as we know right now everything could have fallen only half as much as it will.

Same. I was about to make around 2000$ on a 7000$ investment. I've made good investments, just at the wrong time:|

Yep, just stick with it. Most people had big gains for the year until 2 weeks ago and now are barely up for the year (or even down).
Stick with your stocks, and you will be back to where you were and more.

Today has been great, but I am still not convinced.
Options expire this Friday, and that could cause a pretty big downturn for stocks on Thursday.

Karma's a bitch. I don't have much pity for these banks that either made loans to people who flat-out couldn't afford them, or tricked people into variable interest deals when they were sure they were getting fixed.
(I do pity the homeowners who just wanted a roof over their heads. Well, the real homeowners. The flippers can rot in Hell for pumping the bubble in the first place.)

Yeah I'm still in the red because of IMMR and TTWO, but I'm recovering.

What sucks is I would have bought a lot more ATVI already, but I've had it since mid August and everytime they have good news the markets bring them down anyway. It's the best stock I invested in yet too, so you can imagine how much down the rest is (altho CGT hasn't been doing too bad considering the market's strong downturn)!

STP up 7.85% and another 2.71% today. They've been doing steadily well.
WTF is wrong with ATVI, seriously.

That's hard to say. Generally I wouldn't sell to lock in losses, and Amazon is a visionary company -- everyone buys online from them and they'll be there for the long run. But the P/E ratio is so high, I don't know. It may be better to lock in those losses and buy something more reasonable. You may make more in the long run this way.

Down over $3 (4.4%) today. Time to buy?
Also, ETFC is down more than 10%.

Wii's still selling out all over the place. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=209456
Ride the ups and downs if you like, but this is as safe a stock as you'll find to hold.
Cheesemeister said:
The intra-day pink sheet fluctuations really don't matter. What's killing the stock (as in August) are the institutional owners in Japan selling it to make up for their losses in other sectors. I'm going to hold through this, but it may take several months to recover back to new highs.
EDIT: If you thought today was a good buy, you're gonna love tomorrow! Looks like $63.xx.

Asian markets are down again for the 4th day.
Even if Wiis are selling it means nothing in this market state. Like I said many times before, it's the second time in a row that ATVI had great fiscal results yet the stock went down. It shouldn't be down, same thing for a lot of other companies. The boats are just following the sea level.

I decided to just ride STP out. I believe solar power stock is the type of tech that can double, triple or quadruple in value in the next few years.
