Bernanke looks a little tired, but not unhealthy.

I will call them. I should have called them when it happened. After the market closed I placed a test order on OSK and it did go through. I'll post their response tomorrow if I get one. BTW, I was trying to buy later in the day around 22.5. It did keep falling to 22.21 I think, but shot...

Some people trade and see things differently than you. I missed a profit by not buying on this one because that is how I saw a trade. Recheck the chart and see where there's a rebound a day trader could have gone long at. If I were to hold until close without a stop, than that would have been...

I didn't know that's what you called it, but I go into all my trades initially assuming this is what's really going on.

Here's a first. In 6 years of trading I never was unable to purchase any stock, but today I couldn't buy OSK. Got the message: "Please contact your local branch about placing an order on this security." I'm using Scottrade. It caused me to miss out on a quick profit. Anyone else ever been...

Bingo!

Classic

Yeah...I don't know what else to add. Maybe we are in recession and maybe something bad happened with houses and home loans. I don't know..the numbers are too much to crunch. (Ha ha...that sounds like Crunch 'N Munch...I like cereal.) We are ET'ers (not all from UFO's...haha) We are...

All you ET'ers really are bad. When you sell any stock you expose your psychosis. This is a nightmare for us all. I think I am going to cry and pray to God for all of us (even to Mitt Romney's Utah Jesus). Please, everyone start to buy stocks and don't worry about corrections or...

I agree.

When BRK/a or BRK/b (which don't pay dividends) are priced "worthless" in the market someone let me know about it so I can buy.

Thus, January was a great month if you seriously are long term. Now you can buy shares of great companies at ridiculously low prices. It's great when the market overreacts in our favor.

I don't understand. Who is ever being exposed? This is a forum. We use false names. We are free to lie about anything.

I'm not a psychologist, but I did take Psych101 years ago. Isn't this called "projection"?

Poor assumption... If a business is losing money of course its underlying value in the market will suffer. Unless the US goes belly up of course housing will recover as will banking. It's just a matter of when, and people are placing their bets accordingly by selling or buying. That's what...

Good point. Financial and housing.

I'm also trying to remain positive, but I doubt February could be close to as great as January was.

January was a great month for me as a trader, too. I bet Warren Buffett, the ultimate long-term investor loved it too. Any time excellent companies lose significant market value is just a perfect opportunity to pick up more shares at great prices. (Panic and fear are the friends of the...
