There goes all support on the S&P500. Next stop is about 650.

hah, i had a friend lose almost 30k trying to call a bottom in UYT. SKF went from 200 to 300 and he got stopped out. He bailed about a quarter from the bottom.

I've been shorting the hell out of BRK.B besides catching the print after the close yesterday on the long side. I am barely trading with my own money.

I have a very conservative stop in place, so if it turns sour I will bail quickly. I'm out of trading ideas though... :-( This market is untradeable to all but seasoned daytraders (sahtt)

Blockbuster Bankruptcy!

It is what management deserves after putting in a bid for Circuit City.

Next up, Borders Books.

Whats up with GE... a big healthy company, dropped so much value. At $6 now. It'll be a good buy if/when it starts going up again...

Probably because the DOW is at 6700 +/- . I bought it at $20 when that was the lowest it had been in years . Just like everything.. it'll go up
