Stock market plunging...

  • So last week I liquidated a bunch of positions for some spring cleaning and rebalancing. About 40% of our total portfolio. I knew that things were going to tank after that nice little run we had. What are you guys doing? Should I wait to see where this slide bottoms out and get back in or should I just wait until after the election? TIA.

    What happened the last time you posted about your make believe exercise after the April 12 dip?

    You can't even get your schtick to come up with knew material.

    This is another bullshit story about you acting the big shot.

    Only fools (which you appear to be one) reopen their portfolio after every maket dip.

    You trolled. I just call you on it. Last time you were going to hunker down until after the election.
    Its another sorry ass trolling story.

    Next time the market drops you'll post it again if its more than 60 days apart thinking no one will remember the last story.

    How about if I post a copy of my statement (blacking out private info of course) that shows that I made several sales last week, and if I do, you take a ban for a month?

    How about you being enough of a grown up to realize that shooter with major money (and there are some regular posters here and on the RCMB) who don' feel the need to talk about their alleged wealth or every move they make or don't make on a blip of the DJA.

    Last moth you posted the same drivel. DJA went from 12500 in July '11 to 11700 in August '11. Then nothing until it dropped from 13200 to 12700 area. Now you are at it again.

    Your braggadocio Well's persona tells us you really aren't the shooter you want us to believe you are. If you were your portfolio would be handled by a full time professional. Not some alleged lawyer sitting there studying for a real estate license

    haha.... let me guess, you have some broker buy your mutual funds for you and for that you give him 1.5% annually? I am sure he thanks you for that. Weak. If the thread doesn't apply to you, then why do you feel the need to come in here and wet your depends?

  • It's tough to time the market. Nobody knows what is going to happen. I will say I don't think it will be down long. If it goes down to far, the FED will kick in QE3 to prop it back up. Of course, you won't be able to put gasoline in your car or feed your kids, but that's another discussion altogether.

    Compound 2

  • Wait for QE3 (perhaps as soon as June) and then load the boat with PHYSICAL gold and silver. Much like the rest of the world is doing. Only the losers in the US aren't including PHYSICAL gold and silver as a big part of their savings.

    If you can't hold it, you don't own it.

    If you want to speculate, short the bond market. This is a 30 yr top.

  • I don't start talking about sweating a drop in the market. You probably can't remember Oct 19, 1987 when the DJA lost 22% of its value in one afternoon. That's time to take a breath and think what's next.

    When the DJA is above 13000 it would have to drop 2800 points and I don't see it getting to even 11% of that number today.

    You aren't a shooter. You are a small time do it yourselfer who wants to insert your political points into a blink of a stock drop and act like you are some guru. You are not.

    Called you on it before, called it on you today and if you tell the same story in another 3 months I'll call you on it again.

    Last time the short term drop you were crapping your pants about ended with a rebound to above the previous high. Better stick to getting that real estate license.

    I think you should "wait to see where this slide bottoms out and get back in".

    How will you know that it has bottomed out though?

    This. The market has only been sustained by money printing (in whatever form you want to call it, QE, operation twist, etc.) and it's running out. It's more or less the fed's move at this point: inflation or depression?

    fishy/msux2 has to have multiple names and does a decent job of not trading story lines too often.

    What is there to challenge? The fact msux2 has on multiple ocassions talked about what is a miniscule drop in the DJA, tried to tie it to something political and subsequently spout off how he's adjustoing his portfolio?

    Maybe fishy doesn't like the fact that after the last msux2 pronouncement the DJA actually recovered to a higher number?

    What challenge fishy? I'm not the one bragging about the need to adjust investments after what is currently a less than 1.5% dip in a day's trading. Not 22% like we saw in 1987, not even the 997 drop Flash Crash.

    msux2 is so smart he's getting a real estate license so he can save commision on his next home according to one of his posts and now he's bragging about his stocks. If he's a busy lawyer how can that be?

    I went 50/50 stocks and bonds two months ago but that is the smallest of my holdings. I have basically been out of the the market since 2010. The rest of my investments are all real estate.

    You're going to want own stocks if/when QE3 hits.

    If we get QE3, physical gold and silver is likely to outperform stocks.

    Anyone care to explain why gold and silver are dropping today? Typically people buy gold and silver when they hjave the jitters...

    I blame Buffett!

    Buffett: Gold Bugs Have Right Idea, Wrong Strategies

    Those who stock up on gold on fear-based trades are right to be concerned with weakening paper currencies, but they are wrong to view gold as a productive asset, says legendary investor Warren Buffett.

  • Russia is pushing for a gold standard. Interesting this happens just as Putin returns to power.

    Also, a good interview with the author of The Golden Revolution on the "inevitable" return to a gold standard. Butler mentions Russia as one of his possible catalysts.

    Take advantage of these lower prices.
