I'll go with these

Assets across the board were over valued.. maybe when this is over, we'll see some real, sustainable economic growth based on you know.. important things like productivity?

Given that I never thought I'd see AAPL at $104 I find myself unable to pull the trigger on buying some more (same for GOOG). I mean, if it can go THAT far below my expectations it could go much lower.

Thought for sure we would see the largest intraday drop in history.. But I believe we just averted it by maybe 1 point?

Pen, before you allow your emotions to dictate your investments I suggest you look at the numbers.

FPE: 17
PEG: 1.03
Debt: $0

Yes I know we're not close percentage wise.. but almost beating the 721.xx record is pretty bad. I saw 720.xx while refreshing.

edit: apparently we saw -735.xx at one point.. and afterhours is shaping up to be brutal.
