401k statements are in the mail. Just be patient. Year-end selling should be interesting too.
been wondering myself why in this whole last dive we havent had one flush type open.
any ideas?

Back in July we had news events which lead to panic opens. WCOM fraud, INTC warning both created panic type opens with nice reversals. In the current environment there has been nothing specific to cause a panic, just apathy against a backdrop of negative economic and political news. Hopefully earnings season will get things moving again.

I'm really surprised that the downslide remains quite orderly until now, would have expected the panic to kick in massively at these levels. The frogs keep getting boiled.
LOL!
It surprises me too. I was talking about that with a stockbroker friend of mine recently. He was almost amazed at how calm his clients were.
Sounds more like the middle of a bear market rather than the end.
If this market overshoots on the way down the way it did on the way up, it is going to be bloody!
Well the talking heads are reminding the public that we are at the lows and should find support here. The public knows to just be a little more patient and then the bull returns and they can make back all their money. They are used to holding losers by now, so there is nothing to do but wait it out.
Since everyone knows about PANIC SELLING and blowouts, I wonder if it will happen. Maybe it won't. The market will do whatever surprises the most people. Everyone is waiting and looking for the blowout panic selloff, so guess what...
