    Wow, Fannie/Freddie Mae, down 38% today, to be delisted

    I had a horrible day trading today (my discipline sucks, didnt follow the rules). Wow, I thought me losing $704 today was bad, good lord. I feel bad for anyone who was in either one overnight with large sums of money. Thats gotta hurt.

    Trader P/L 2010

    Argh, I got owned today. Was totally on the wrong side of the market until around 2:30pm. I kept thinking the market would reverse since it appeared to be at the top of a range. I should have traded the current market, not what the market I thought was coming. I was ok until I upped my size...

    How much do you save every month?

    I track every dollar I spend through sites like Mint.com or www.wesabe.com , etc. I save between 60% to 75% of my monthly income. To be honest though, I bring in alot, so I'm able to save alot more than normal. I'm not bragging, I'm just saying. Hopefully I'll start making money via...

    I thought this was an interesting response on another site: " http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/05/galbrait... "Government does not need money to spend just as a bowling alley does not run out of points." "Since the 1790s, how often has the federal government not run a...

    Thats it...the bottom is in...next stop 1300

    retail: I think you're incorrect. The DOW looks to be going much lower (8831 and then maybe 7100). The S&P looks like it'll go down to around 910, then maybe 850. I estimate at least a 1-5 months before we hit those lows.

    How are these gaps up possible ? F up 5% on 1200 shares

    Ford (F) went up almost 7% at 4am today on 1270 shares traded. How the hell is that possible ? Am I to believe that only 1270 shares after hours were being offered to be sold ? Almost all the DOW stocks went up magically across the board at 4am, but I dont see how this happens just because...
