volatility is good for options traders (if you can see trends) but this blows.

Funny how the same thought was running through my head right now.

[Blue_Eyed_Devil]

Too little too late?
At least oil prices are dropping.

There is already talk of another cut at the regularly scheduled meeting on the 30th.
My house isn’t even done yet and I may be refinancing.

fear is good… it makes irrational people throw give up their money to the rational ones.

@JayS"

But the economy is in the shitter, or at least that’s what the Dems keep telling me. :cjerk:

@JEG

Nationally…the economy is doing very well. …the stock market is very high. …Unfortunatly it is happening under a different party then they want it to so the media spins it to be an awfull thing, trying to scare people into not investing and hoping for something bad to happen so when another Dem is in office they can come out and save us from our own stupidity.

:lol:

[JustinH]

i’m still doing fine. I moved my 401k into 50 percent of the citi slow grow fund, and the other half in emerging markets…

Up 11% for the year.

[theblue]

11% based on 22 days is not exactly slow growth, lol.

[chino]

I hope this keeps happening so the fed lowers rates

[cougarspeed]

Yes feds dropping rates more would be nice. So anyone have any tips to help combat what is going on? What are these shorts Howie speaks of? Most of my stuff is doing ok im only losing a bunch on SIRI because their merger with XM hasnt gone through.

@93dx--hatch

I hope this keeps happening so the fed lowers rates

and devaluing the dollar more? Causing commodity prices to rise?

[Daddie]

It was an EMERGENCY rate cut people. It shouldn’t be cut that drastically, ever.

[cougarspeed]

Good to see my 12 year streak of travelling internationally for spring break is coming to an end because the same trips I took the last couple of years out of toronto for 12-1400 are now well over $2000…thank you george.

And who’d have thought that master economist himself, JEG, would have been wrong?

Oh, and The Russian, you’re young and probably don’t have that much savings yet, but in the future, it would be good to diversify your assets beyond 3 or 4 companies in the same damn industry.

Word. BTW i actually came out positive yesterday. It was about a wash but still on the positive side. Morning news hyped things worse then they turned out. Of course the fed cut helped lol.
