It’s somewhat reassuring to know that you’re actions are dictated by others and are not done of your own volition. But posters here have been suggesting that you’re a WS shill for awhile here.

“On Monday, Bloomberg reported that millenial investors felt “excitement” during the February correction. That suggests they saw little reason to cut their exposure to equities in the last selloff. Circumstances may provide them a second opportunity to “excitedly” reduce their equity holdings in the weeks ahead.”

As it turned out, that was the correct move. Perhaps those young 'uns can teach us old timers a few tricks.

Leave the discussion to the big boys who know what they’re talking about.

Where is that Irony Guy when you actually need him?

Ah, the quote implies excitedly selling at lower prices, so an incorrect interpretation on your part.

No, it doesn’t. Did you even read the Bloomberg article?

“If you’re a long-term investor you want to be able to buy low, and millennials had a chance to add to their retirement accounts at a lower price,” Bankrate.com analyst Taylor Tepper said by phone. “In that sense, it’s very exciting.”

Overall, investors kept calm throughout the turmoil, with just 6 percent of those surveyed pulling cash from their accounts, according to the report.

Let’s see where the market goes FA. The millenials haven’t had their chance to sell at lower prices. Isn’t that the point?

No, the point is that you accused me of misinterpreting the article when, in fact, it was you who misinterpreted it. Now instead of apologizing and admitting your mistake, you shift gears and try to divert attention from your blunder.

We know your approach.

It's never too early to plan. 10 - 15 years in advance should be suffice.

How’s your last buy on the dip working? Hope it wasn’t FB?

Up a little over 2% at the end of trading today. Jealous much?

I am no longer jealous:

My last buy is still up over 2%.

You’ve taken your incompetence to a new level. We knew you posted articles after reading little more than the headline, but now you’re posting quotes without reading them. What is it about the words, “saw little reason to cut their exposure to equities in the last selloff” that you don’t understand?

Currently trending up around 200 points after going down about 400 yesterday. Boeing keeps going back and forth and it's just curious because it seems like people can't make up their mind on what to do or they're making very reactionary trades perhaps. Also, I run aggressive ad-blockers so I can't see Twitter embeddings in responses.

How’s that when you were up 2% at the close, and the stock is currently -2.5% lower than yesterday’s close? Perhaps you need to take another look.

Stanley, Igy works for Morgan Stanley. Your Patriots' reference went right over his head. He doesn't get it. He thinks you're "harassing" him by using a name similar to his employer's. He's not the brightest bulb.

I’m not buying it. He’s not a complete idiot. He obviously knows about the Pats given his childish statements about Belichick and Brady. It’s natural to believe he’s also aware of Morgan.

And how am I supposed to know who he works for and why would I even care? The guy is a troll.

Actually he is a complete idiot. See my previous post.

You asked me how my last buy on the dip was and I told you. My last buy was not FB.

You are really stupid.

OK, good for you. You were rather misleading in your response. What was the buy so I can track your progress?

Your lack of understanding of the English language is starting to rival your math skills. Not good.

I had a very small position in FB up until yesterday (0.8% of my portfolio), ditched that turd as fast as I could. Had been looking for an excuse to unload it for a while, glad to finally be rid of it. I hate to make predictions, but I feel like that stock's got a ways to fall...
