i said the following back in May largely because i was expecting this correction to happen back then

it didn't because there was apparently too much momentum, and now we're paying for it.

fear not peoples, this thing is going back up sooner rather than later

we may even see Dow 15k this year -- maybe not that high -- we'll probably see notably more growth in the Nasdaq.

but the truth still holds: "remember noone ever went broke by taking profits"

i only took a relatively small beating today (in my brokerage account, at least)...about 0.5%.

my IRA is heavier on U.S. market indexes, and probably took a bigger hit.

7/26/2007 8:14:22 PM

CNBC kept touting a poll done that said 80% of institutional investors expect the DOW to end this year at or above 14,000. I think thats very significant, since the institutions control the market.

Right now I really wish I had some cash to catch the bounce back - whenever that is.

7/26/2007 8:30:50 PM

My portfolio is heavy on overseas shit and my wallet still took quite a beating today.

Ow.

7/27/2007 2:42:47 AM

i think i'm gonna sell all of my AAPL tomorrow morning if it doesn't take a big shit before i get a chance.


thinking about taking that money and buying Vanguard's emerging mkt ETC (VWO). it's been on a slide lately, and took another 5.5% hit yesterday.

7/27/2007 3:14:58 AM

yall ready for the 10-15% correction?

7/27/2007 6:35:46 AM

i think we're on the up and up today....yesterday was sell first, ask questions later (quote from cnbc), today, everyone hops back in

7/27/2007 7:26:49 AM

So i got yelled at yesterday by a guy who lost $9. He was in a stable value fund and absolutely outraged that it could go down.

$9.



I seriously spent like 15 minutes explaining market fluctuation.

7/27/2007 7:31:13 AM

Heh, I was talking to a guy at UBS and he's dropped clients like that before. More trouble than they're worth.

7/27/2007 8:34:43 AM

GDP news is good. Hopefully, that will be a catalyst for something good.

"Date: 7/30/2007 Re: Account XXXX ROTH IRA Dear Pain in the Ass, We are writing you in regards to your cash account and wish to inform you of changes in your account that will affect when sales proceeds are available for additional purchases. Please read this letter carefully. How you handle your account going forward will determine how often and when you will be able to enter purchase orders. Interpretations of Federal Reserve Regulation T, which govern how trades are paid for, state funds from liquidations in cash accounts will not be available to pay for purchases until the settlement date of the sell. Unsettled funds can be used to purchase securities as long as the new purchase is not sold prior to settlement date of the funding sale. If you hold your new purchase until settlement date of the funding sale, this is not considered to be a freeride since the purchase has been paid for with the original unsettled proceeds. If you sell your new purchase prior to the settlement date of the funding sale, your account will be noted with a freeride. This notice has been sent to you because a freeride has occurred in your account. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, however, it's a Federal Reserve Requirement, which governs your account and requires us to make this change. You have several options available to you at this time. You can simply reduce the number of trades you do and adhere to the three-business day settlement date. You can provide additional cash to the account to support your desired trading activity. Finally, you can sign a margin agreement which will allow you to trade without the 3 business day hold on sales proceeds. However, a consideration with signing a margin agreement would be the requirement by industry regulations, that if you do 4 roundtrips (a buy and a sell in the same security) in a five day period you will be considered a pattern day trader and will be required to maintain $25,000 minimum equity in the account. There could also be interest charges that would apply on any debit balances past settlement date. Please note that margin trading is not allowed for Retirement and Custodial accounts. Internal Revenue Service rules limits the amount of contributions for Retirement accounts, which may restrict the amount of cash you can deposit into your account. We ask that you please make an immediate adjustment to your trading patterns since we may be required to place future restrictions on your account. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. For additional information, you can refer to the Message Center and Frequently Asked Questions found on our website. Please contact your local branch office at 919-854-2733 if you have questions regarding this notice. Sincerely, Scottrade, Inc. "

VMWare IPO on Aug 14

http://tinyurl.com/3c3xjy

7/31/2007 9:32:03 AM

article didn't mention much... 23-25 a share was about it. i guess the details will unfold over the next few days.

ssjamind, maybe you can go ahead and cash out so that you will have some free cash and not have to free ride. 25g's is steap and waiting for things to settle makes life hard...

7/31/2007 11:22:32 AM

yeah, i'm only going to trade a little bit in my Roth. my other more risky account is probably where i'll trade this. might trade 10k or so. we'll see how much cash i can stash away.

7/31/2007 11:37:56 AM

anyone else own CTRP and not have the split shares show up in their account yet?

7/31/2007 2:13:48 PM

Can someone tell me WTF just happened?

7/31/2007 4:25:16 PM

8/1/2007 1:18:10 PM

TRID has simply made me depressive.

8/1/2007 2:02:05 PM
