The sky is falling!
« on: August 08, 2011, 01:34:32 PM »
Apple off 40 some points since last week.

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.

I don't usually share my investment secrets, but since we are all friends...
    I am slowly moving all my money into gas lanterns. I figure when this electricity fad dies, I'll make billions! flail.gif

cool.gif 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.  WOW.gif

As for investing, I am a very conservative investor, mainly purchasing DRIPs (dividend reinvestment programs). goodluck.gif

We're really in a yo-yo market now.

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  ???
