I apologize...actually...I have no idea what your situation is or where you put your money in 2014.

I will bow out of this particular line of discussion...

that ain't nothing to even think about, you lost your money now you have to be smart. i am going to hip you up now to much worse problems than stock markets blowing up to smithereens. there are major problems now for farmers getting their hands on fertilizer. this is going to turn out to be major shortage of food. people are going to starve to death right in this beautiful country. i would suggest you get yourself and your family a 2 year supply of food that doesn't go bad. i have already done this. the next thing that you will want to do is get a power station for your home that can supply it with electricity from solar panels that have nothing to do with the grid. i would strongly heed my advice if you possibly can do this.

So after the S&P is down 18% and the NASDAQ is down 29% you're saying it's time to call a down market.


Congrats on getting out ahead of the crash.

If you thought things would go south four months ago that is fine, but posting that george.burns99 should sell at this stage of the game isn't the same as 4 months ago.

I've heard that before a few times over the decades. You sound like a guy that is trying to do his little part to Bear the market.

Do you realize how many millions of 401k and retirement accounts are invested in Mutual Funds? Certainly some are conservative with bond/equity split, but equities are still being invested in. That alone will help stabilize the markets over time. People are not going to stop investing in the market in their 401k and retirement accounts because the market is correcting now. And they sure as hell aren't going to pull their money at a loss and put it into a .5 percent savings account. Many can't, as they are locked into their 401k. All they can do is sit and ride it out.

And as a side bar, I have a Vanguard fund now that is actually performing incredibly well. Actually, it's blowing me away. It's almost at a 9 percent GAIN in the last four months. That's one fund manager that knows how to invest in a correcting market.

Like all things, the market is cyclical. I filter the doom and gloom because it is all speculation.

in every bear market there is always something or some sector that does well. also bear markets usually don't last as long as the bull market. the problem is that the leaders in the prior bull market aren't usually the same things as what takes the market up in the future.
i am the first to admit that i hope i am wrong and that the stocks that exist now bring the S+P to over 10,000 in less than 3 years. that way everyone will be happy.

for the guy that wants to call me wrong because i was more than likely 1 quarter to early!

one of the reasons for the markets tanking is the strong dollar. the dollar is now at its strongest point in over 20 years. i don't know how true this is, but Biden said he paid off $1.5 trillion off the debt in a year. if true that would also lend to the dollar being so strong right now.

today gold saved itself for going down to $1680, maybe temporary. in the face of things, this was not expected on this type of a day.

Where the **** do they get all this money?

Tell me this country isn't CORRUPT to its VERY CORE?
these guys are probably a very big reason why the stock market is cratering now.

Not going to see any sort of turnaround until we get some big volume days...we're at the point now where it's lookout below...and it's not going to stop until there is blood in the streets and panic selling ensues...

There hasn't even been a hint of a panic day...at least as I see it.

Is support at 3500? 3000? Somewhere around there, probably...that's my guess anyway...

Prepare for a couple of monster down days, coming soon to a market near you.

first stop could be 3700 ( probably) we can only hope that is going to hold, if she doesn't hold i would start to take a good look at 2400 area and skip all the stuff in between.

Exactly, I took on Altria (the cigarette maker) and Southern Company (utilities) in October of last year and they have both been amazing.


The easy way to make up for lost money is to buy more. You never know where the twist and turns are, in 5 years we might be looking at this saying "Geez if I would ave just bought on that 29% bear run in the NASDAQ, I'd be rich"
