You must not have any oil holdings. I have to decide between a 90% loss selling now, or gamble the market turns around and I can recoup some losses. If I do the latter, I risk 100% loss from liquidation. Oil has me shocked right now.

I’m seriously thinking about buying some Conoco and Exxon. Oil will go back to $100 a barrel when the last domestic producer goes belly up and Obama kills any pipeline deal. Then OPEC will have us by the short hairs again.

About 5% of my investments are in oil. Might be less when I check prices at the end of the day. No point in selling now.

Oil will go back up. The Saudis can’t keep selling at a loss forever. Those who think some miracle alternative energy source will be the end of oil are too early, unless the Vulcans finally reveal themselves and give us the new technology that eliminates the need for petroleum.

If you are in dividend stocks hang in there. Remember that emotion impacts the market too.
