[quote=moneymaker] Anyway I’m back in and feeling wishy washy.[/quote]

How you feeling now? Are you still back in or did you get back out?

Today is a great example of why I don’t like to actively trade. This morning things looked ok. And then things just fell apart. Oh well…

[quote=The-Shoveler][quote=flu]Thank god I paid off my house instead if staying in the markets completely.

Maybe I’ll move back in in Feb or March.[/quote]

Good for you flu, It looks like no one is buying stocks, they are buying powerball tickets instead.

Our powerball fund at work hit an all-time high LOL.

I am still out of the market unless we get a 35-50% decline then I will start to move in again, But I don’t think that will happen, not seeing what everyone else is maybe but I see no good reason for the sell off.

But at the same time I don’t see a good reason for it to go up much either.[/quote]

Get rich quick. It’s american way.

Don’t think of a lottery ticket as gambling…

Think of it is as a “high yield investment bond”

I just drip $2500-3000 into an after tax vanguard account each month…That’s about it.

I’m suppose to get my ESPP shares in february. I think I’ll see and lock in my 20% gain.

I’m in XboxBoy and I’m not getting out until it goes higher than my buy in price. That’s my secret I don’t sell unless it makes me richer. Eventually it will be higher just have to be patient. I didn’t get out at exactly the peak and I’m sure I didn’t get back in at the bottom either but the spread is like 6% or so.

[quote=deadzone][quote=poorgradstudent][quote=paramount]”Sell everything.”

That harrowing advice is from The Royal Bank of Scotland, which has warned of a “cataclysmic year” ahead for markets and advised clients to head for the exit. Do not wait. Do not pass go.[/quote]

Cool. Once we get a couple more of these it’s a good indicator it’s time to buy.[/quote]

Buy the dip. Go all in RIGHT NOW![/quote]

That was a Good Call!! (well at least for a day trade), we will see I guess.

Like Real Estate, stock prices always you up in the long term so no risk right?

I don’t regret staying on index funds since 1996… In the same way, I don’t regret buying a house and never having to pay rent again.

I probably wouldn’t recommend putting everything you have into one asset class in the same way I would think people who stay out completely are making a mistake too.

And lets face it, most people who were trying to predict the bottom or top are usually wrong most of the time. That’s why there are some people who still haven’t bought a house despite having that brief chance of having both low prices and low loan rates a few years ago.

Double down on today’s dip. I’m sure it is just a temporary blip.

Market took a core dump. I’ll take that 2.5% return that I can pay to myself now that I don’t have a mortgage. Holy crap. Maybe buying back can start in february at this pace.

I sense a tech/IT recession soon. Tech workers get ready.

Talking to the trader at blackRock, Tech was the one sector she liked because it has lots of cash (no need to borrow).

But unfortunately most of the companies and individuals they sell their products to do have to borrow.

The lead headline seems to be
“Why the heck are the markets tanking”? LOL

Anyway I keep seeing Co-workers being hired out from under us up in the San Jose Area also in RTP.

I guess we will see I Guess but it seems to be getting harder to hire and retain good employees at least in RTP and Bay Area.

I’m out.

I think were headed for a recession – and it will probably be worse than 2008. Probably the recession that should have been allowed to run it’s course in 2008.

No personal discretionary spending – I’m not even going out for pizza tonight like I had planned.

I like biotech right now partially because the rest of the world seems to hate it.

Additionally, it’s not like biotech cares much about energy prices.

We may still have some room to fall, but I would say get in before QE4 starts. And start it will…

Schiff predicting:

*Middle class Tax Cuts
*Rebate Checks
*Increased Govt spending (infrastructure?)

Maybe as part of a campaign promise?

2015 Q4 GDP revised down to 0.6%.
