Still pretty high . . . but it was at the $140+ level during the summer, so it has certainly taken a big fall.sonarrat said:

Well, I guess I'm just along for the ride. Maybe I'll be able to sell in 3 years. Until then, I'm going to invest as much of my income as possible into this low, low market. Everything's on sale!

There are funds based on the LIBOR overnight rate, it would have been great to invest in that a week ago when it was at 6.88%. With bonds, if you're holding one, when market interest rates go up, the bond you're holding is worth less money. It's just one of the quirks of the market. So when the Fed bumps interest rates, you're going to see a reduction in principal followed by a bump in returns. The trick is to buy when the return rate is very high.
Quick question. I can save about $6-8k per month. Am I better off leaving it in my WaMu Savings account which is 3.93%, or should I consider investing maybe half of it in the market? I notice the market has lost over 30% of its value since peaking at over 14,000 a while back. That's not very encouraging, even with the holiday season approaching. Is 4% a good rate of return right now?
I'm under the FDIC barrier, and I'm really saving up for a house. I can get the house next summer, even with 20% down, but there's always an option of waiting an additional year, since my two biggest clients are contracted for 2 years. I don't want to lose my shirt, but I don't want to miss out on another huge payday either. I was on the frontlines for the tech boom, and just didn't have the capital. Now that I do, I want to maximize its value. PEACE.

Personally I think we're far from seeing the bottom yet, a guaranteed anything is a good option when many are worried about capital protection rather than capital growth.

Pimp: 6 to 8K a month? Wow, I wish I was rich! :lol
BTW, we are almost down 700pts.

True, it's all a matter of perspective. The only money I have to play with is in my IRA. I'm at the stage of my life where I have the least to lose, and the most to gain, by trading extremely volatile options where the only thing bigger than the chasm your money can fall into is the heavens that it can soar up to, to be overly verbose and poetic.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Currencies have been 'fun' today. After taking a massive haircut at the open I've gone on to do very well in this choppy environment but I my lord.. I think most everyone on this board would be best served to just stay on the sidelines for now.

Sorry I don't follow. If you mean sell everything even if there are immense losses. Yeah kinda.. I mean if you still have some capital you'd be better served holding on to it for the time when the fear is completely out.
Throwing money into the market now is like throwing it into a tornado. You might get lucky but.. odds are your neck is gonna break.
