To rebuke the claim that there were no insiders who could affect the market, I pointed out that the chairman of the Fed most certainly could. Agip then went off on a tirade about me being a Jew hater and dragged Bloomberg into it.
Read the thread and you won't need to ask such an ignorant question.
Last time I will comment on this issue tat you guys don't want to let go of.
By the way, Dow now at 14,842 and dropping.

Dude, let it go.
Let's give a shot to keeping this thread about the stock market, market predictions, portfolio performance, etc.
Here's the restart button - work with me here.
Why don't you mind your own business. I started this thread and I'll dictate it's direction. And if you don't think there's a connection between the market and the Israeli Firsters, then you're ignorant too.
While you guys are bickering the DOW is tanking. Down another 100pts.

Klondike5,
Now is the time to save face and get back in the market. You DID lose 4 months of investing (more than likely), but at least you can get back in now. This trouble between Obama and Boehner has artificially lowered the Dow, and that's quickly coming to an end.
IF you do get back in (actually I suggest that you don't since you don't have the stomach for it), then you should change your attitude about it and let stuff ride a little longer (if you're not within 10 years of retirement). BUT, as I said, I think you're better off with SS and your pension than mucking around with the stock market...since you don't have the stomach for it.
Imposters abound.

Fake Klondike5 -- are you Agip or just another run of the mill ahole?

this is such a misrepresentation of the conversation - unbelievable. here's your original statement:
"No inside players lost a dime in the meltdown. Some rich outsiders did, sure. But do you think Bernanke or Bloomberg lost a dime? Of course not."
classic - you are rewriting the past.
the discussion is not about whether bernanke can influence the market. You claim it was, to hide your race baiting. Your claim was that bernanke never lost a dime in the crisis. I disputed that by saying who cares - the guy has no money.
as for bloomberg - apparently he lost billions in the financial crisis. Billions. As much as 20% of his net worth.
Bloomberg's net worth progression:
2008- $20 billion
2009- $16 billion (interim March figure)*
2009- $17.5 billion (A year of $105 million in direct campaign expenditures, plus. .)**
2010- $18.0 billion (Bloomberg surpassed by David H. Koch)***
2011- $19.5 billion

Once again, you misrepresent virtually everything. Why do you bother arguing when you keep getting caught in lies and misrepresentations? give it up, will you?

No offense Flagpole, but you are a moron. I have been out of the market for 3 plus months and in that time the Dow has dropped about 1% (@15,000 to 14,850). That's 4 (?) months of investing I can do without.
The point is not to save face -- I don't give a crap about what you guys think -- but to protect my principal.
I did not get out to protect against a 1% drop -- I got out as I believed that there was a reasonable chance of a drop of more than 10%; perhaps a repeat of the early 2000s or late 2008 with drops of 20%, 30%, more.
And you are right. I did not have the stomach for (my God you use that expression over and over again) for losing over 1/2 of my equity holdings in the blink of an eye as so many others did in late 2008. People were devastated; I was very glad to be on the sidelines.
It is unlikely I will make a big plunge into the market any time in the next few months -- unless the big downward "correction" does come at which point I probably will re-enter -- with a lot more shares than I would have had had I followed your buy and hold strategy.
By the way, what makes you think the Obama/GOP stalemate is quickly coming to an end? My guess is that the GOP will hold firm right up until Govt default -- and maybe even passed that. Which means another week -- probably filled with falling markets.
Agip.
What happened about letting it go?
Move on for God's sakes AGIP

Cute. But lame. Really, really lame. Indeed, it has been mathematically proven that posting under other people's names is the lamest of all possible acts on a message board.
Congratulations!

ha. you can't believe I make stuff up - everything I do is linked to a real source and fact based.
Klondike claims bberg lost no money in the crash, when he lost 20% of his net worth. Klondike claims bernanke is lying when he says he has only $2 million in net worth...Klondike says someone (me?) argued that bernanke has no influence on the market when no one said that...and that is just today.
