DJIA off another 500+ points after similar loss yesterday.
I guess Congress and Obama really fixed things with their 'agreement'.
Come on guys, you can do better than that!
Dirty rotten ratchifratch.

Actually, I did make a buy during this bloody time. I purchased some Cisco Systems at its low - some market timers would say I planned it, but actually I was just lucky! After I had purchased it, the company came out with their earnings report and it was better than anticipated. 
As for investing, I am a very conservative investor, mainly purchasing DRIPs (dividend reinvestment programs).

DJIA down 500 one day, then up 500 the next.
I'm getting sea sick!
Actually my original post wasn't from panic, but only an observations from previous experiences. I was never worried.
The big financials are controlling the market to their benefit.
Apple will always rebound (until they don't).
I just wish his Steveness wasn't so staunchly opposing a stock split — say 4 for 1 ???

And to think that I never bought this stock - this was one of my bigger mistakes!
