The market was shaky today. Might be the end of the "go up every day" trend we've been having. Several things that always worked buying on dips crashed on me today but they are thinner issues.

The worst is past us, that much is clear. There's no huge news looming that could drop us back to 700 levels on the S&P. I think we will sit right about here for the next year. I just don't see why it would go up except blind optimism. It'll be one of those things where stocks keep going up, and then back down when people find out that earnings aren't very strong, that sales are still way down etc. It's going to be hard for companies to get back into serious growth. Right now I'm a bigger fan of some good value picks and collecting dividends for a while.

DOW 10,000 and nobody has posted to this thread in days?!

...Is no one buying anything anymore? Is everyone remaining on the sidelines? I'm still sitting on everything I accumulated Sept08-Feb09.

I haven't bought much of anything since last winter. But I did pick up a small amount of AONE when it went public a few days ago.

Yeah S&P is almost at 1100 now. Gone up almost 50% since March now, too bad it was so high before it went down though haha.
I'm still leaving mine in and been doing well with it so far.

I cashed out some of my mad money and purchased a car, I still have my Div Stocks, and they are doing great. My one speculative stock is FIG,.. I have 6k shares avg in at 4.44, will flip at earnings. Their RA IPO didn't go so well but they still made a lot of cash to pay off their debt on it. Should be very interesting.

401k is gangbusters


I was wondering the same thing the other day about this thread,.. whats everyone else doing?
