i dog piled.

and i'm not ashamed. what was i supposed to do?

treat idiotic posts with respect? weigh them the same as ones with some actual thought behind them?

i appreciate the effort to defend a wounded animal. but not even people who agree with him wanted him on their side.

it wasn't the content of the itty bitty teeny weenie thought expressed. it was the monosyllabic delivery.

Yes but your dogpile is respected.
At least you can think.
Illinformed (ignorant) posters who dogpile are
a nuisance.
And they can be azzholes.

-678.91 under 8600.
It is going from bad to worse.

You are so right. There is absolutley no reason to buy right now. Why try to catch a falling knife? It is a very scary thought that banks might be going out of buisness. Not to mention companies like Ford or GM. People talk about recession, we are way past that. Depression is right around the corner.

Please don't be ignorant ... it is this kind of thinking that CAUSES this. The market is on sale right now ... NOW is the time to buy if you have the funds to do so.

Why do you think it is time to buy?

Yup, I did. You can get a lot with a little right now and make a ton later cause anybody with any sense knows that sooner or later this will turn around.

I have been responsible with my money and credit over the past few years, shame on me. Shame on those who bought homes they would never afford as well as credit lines, etc etc and the banks that made it happen.

it's not time to buy if the market hasn't finished falling yet. of course it depends on what individual stocks you're looking at. i sure as hell wouldn't buy into any automotive companies right now for example.

I have been hearing all summer how the "market is on sale". What is "on sale" anyway? Does that mean that it is at a discount to its previously overinflated price? I remember when the tech stocks crashed in the early part of the decade and everyone spoke of how they were " on sale". Man, thats a long sale because many of those stocks never recovered. I know- you can pick out a handful that flourished as you can in any market. But if you invested in tech when it FIRST started to crash in 2000, you are sitting on a big fat stinking pile of RED right now.

You say "now is the time to buy". Okay...give me five stocks to buy RIGHT NOW. You may be right and if so you get all the credit.

Personally, I am not good enough to pick out 5 stocks right now.
