Me, because I don't get caught up in the short term crap. Plenty of good companies to own if you're looking 5+ years out. And if they go down some more I'll buy some more. Still going to eat McDonalds aren't we, not saying I'm buying that stock but you get my point.

Always a good idea to have 2 safes. Put $500 and some worthless jewellry in one and the other safe has all the main loot. Then when some intruder sticks a gun in your face asking where the safe is you point him to the wrong one.

Gold down methinks because everyone is pretty much liquidating everything. Plus market markers can't really like buying bids on anything these days :)

I just looked that gun up on Wikipedia, looks a beatiful weapon.

Anyone who buys things in shops right now should ask for a 20% discount (ok, you're not going to get that on a can of beans). If the shop doesn't play ball, don't buy (unless you really have to). But don't worry, if they don't play today, just give it time and they'll be begging for your...

I wonder if he's going to say - "the American people deserve a higher stockmarket" Just as he did after 9/11.

I might have missed it (I dount it though) but why hasn't this clown been summoned to congress for a god old questioning?

What and the big money won't be able to 'influence' the 'new regulations' again? The big money always wins in the US, well most of the time anyway. Give it 5 years and then it'll be back to business as usual, just in a slightly different form. Many regulators don't like to piss off...

Personally I think Buffet was ordered to invest in GS as a nice soundbite to calm the market down. Of course, he demanded great terms and got them.

Is your next revelation going to be that the Sun always rises in the east :) Not having a jibe at you Achilles :p

Yep, thanks guys. I'm not bothering to call IB as they're long term trades, not looking to flip them. If they stay then great, if not then no money lost. Same orders get put back in, every $10 below $400 all the way down to my eventual stop at $2.50 :)

20 mins to the market opens and IB still have my GOOG shares bought yesterday below 390. Surely they must have sorted this problem out by now, if indeed there was a problem.......

No wonder so many people struggle in the markets as they trade from day to day. 'Today's a buy, the markets bottomed and going high' the following day - 'crash is coming, get out of stocks, all hell is going to break loose' the folliwng day - 'a nice rally developing this means...

I was a buyer every $10 below $390 and according to IB I still have those trades. Fingers crossed :)

Are these the same 'big players' that are now broke or out of business?

90% of investment bank traders = bull market heroes 75% of hedge funds = bull market heroes (assuming they're not specialised funds but even then....) 90% of retail clients = bull market heroes No wonder around 10% of market participants make 90% of the money (give or take). The...

A lot of people calling for the bottom. Most of them have hidden agendas, ie lower markets are not good for business...........

Yes, there is a smarter way of doing things and it's called - Stop trying to be so clever because it WILL cost you. So if you think the market is going up over the next several months, keep it real simple, forget about options and just buy and hold the ETF.

Got to love how successful the govt/media spin doctors have been in persuading the general population that the problems with high prices (in anything) are all the fault of those evil speculators. Never their problem, or the problems of their crazy policies to blame...........

I just read on one of the newswires that Bernanke said the dollar will remain 'STRONG and stable' did I read right? What planet are these clowns living on, last time the dollar was strong was many years ago......
