In other related news, it sounds like Bill Gross is really confident about things in general. Oh wait, no he's not. Buy buy buy!!!
How are all those stock you bought when the Dow was well over 16,000 doing Agip?

I predict a modest bump up today.

well, k5, I just did a back of the envelope calculation and I have bought 0.14% of my portfolio since the Dow first crossed 16,000, in late november.
That 0.14% of my portfolio is down 1.4% (an estimate based on the Vanguard balanced index fund, which is fairly close to my portfolio. so. 0.14% x 1.4% means that my purchases above Dow 16,000 have cost me in performance terms:
.002%
Yup. ouchies!
How much money have you not gained by staying out since Dow 15,000?
global stocks now down just 4.5% from their peak. At their worst, global stocks were down 6.6%.
So far a perfect bounce off the 200 day MA, but I suspect this downturn isn't over yet - usually it is not this easy to ride it out. usually there is more pain.

I suspect you will all be sh*tting your pants this week-end.
It is coming this year, that's for sure
But not today, I guess.

Down to 14,850 from a peak of 15,700 I believe.
Maybe 5%
What's the bottom?
I am betting sub 13,000
Looks like your prediction came true(Big Correction).
Oh wait a minute, you got out at 15,000.
So what do you do? Cut your loses and get back in, or wait for that drop to 13,000. Ain't gonna happen!
Clearly this is a dead cat bounce, and we'll be sorry tomorrow. Or maybe Monday. Or maybe next week. Might even be next month! But it's coming!! And we'll be sh*tting our pants!!!
Rally today must be due to the following:
Marbles that once belonged to the world's most famous Holocaust victim - teenaged diarist Anne Frank - have turned up over seventy years after she gave them to a friend for safekeeping before she and her family went into hiding.
Anne never lived to reclaim the marbles. After hiding in an attic with her family they were betrayed to the Nazis, arrested and shipped off to concentration camps. She died in the Bergen-Belsen camp early in 1945.
The Anne Frank House Museum in Amsterdam reported this week that Anne's tin of marbles has been handed to it and went on display for the first time on Tuesday at an art gallery in Rotterdam

So much for your claim that you are always buying stock.
Agip's post would seem to substantiate his claim. You really have trouble with basic English, K5.

It's weird. At the beginning of the thread K5 seemed to be quite intelligent. Misguided perhaps. Twisted for sure. But intelligent.
Now it seems like his basic intelligence has abandoned him. Strange. And kind of scary.

it's because there are at least two people posting as 'K5'
He refuses to register the name, so other people hijack it.

I recognize that is going on. And I honestly hope that explains it. The alternative is pretty scary.
I'm just not sure.

An anonymous poster on a messageboard is mentally ill and has a personality disorder? I guess that possibility isn't all that scary to me.

Anonymous - Irrelevant
Poster on a messageboard - Irrelevant
That anyone can so rapidly deteriorate mentally is rather scary. It is not something that one controls. Do you think that he is just choosing to mentally deteriorate? Or that you are magically immune to similar problems?
No, but it would be very, very unusual for personality disorders (which by definition are evidenced from adolescence) or thought-process-disturbing mental illnesses to appear for the first time in a male my age. The exception to that might be those induced by substance abuse. I also like to think that if I were to suddenly start behaving like K5, I have enough loved ones, friends, and colleagues that care about me that I would get the help I needed.
But who knows. I see what you are saying - the thought that any one of us could end up like K5 is somewhat disturbing even though he's completely harmless to everything but his own money and Jews on the internet.
Sorry guys! Haven't taken my meds today!
World stocks now down just 3.5% from their peak.
And, of course, people took a record amount out of equity funds...last week after the markets fell so sharply. More emotion getting in the way of good investing?
Investors swapped out of U.S. equity funds and into bonds at the fastest clip on record last week, according to Lipper Inc., as they grasped for safety while the stock market swooned.
Traditional U.S. stock mutual funds and exchange-traded funds together saw withdrawals of $18.8 billion in the week ended Feb. 5, their biggest weekly withdrawals on record. The abrupt reversal, led by ETFs, comes after U.S. stock funds attracted $172 billion in 2013, the biggest inflow since the financial crisis.
Meanwhile, taxable bond mutual funds and ETFs soaked up $10.7 billion, their biggest intake on record, Lipper's data showed.
