We sold a bunch of our stock at the end of November, and we just haven’t really had the time to invest it. I think I’m glad. We’re not losing any of it.

Here’s the question: how far will the DJIA, NASDAQ, etc. fall when we reach bottom? Given the numerous “circuit breakers” in place to prevent uncontrolled runs on the the stock market, I doubt we will drop under DJIA 8,000 before institutional investors start snapping up undervalued US stocks.

Dow losses accelerating. Nearing -300 now.

It could be down a thousand. The market no longer believes in easy money.

The fed needs to show its support of free and sound market, with market incentives (i.e. tax cuts) being put on the table right now. And someone needs to put a freaking muzzle on Barney Frank.

Can't believe the term "bank run" is acutally being used.

“Gold up 2% isn’t exaclt “ballistic””

The Yen is up almost 3% - that’s more significant.

I think you’ll get all the action you ever wanted in gold over the next couple of years!

If you had a bunch of cash on the side doing nothing. Most are just dealing with their margin calls right now.

Capitulation week.

Goldman, Lehman, Bear Stearns, Morgan Stanley all report.

This week we could see bottom.

Good time to buy IMO.

I have not seen anything quite like it, (at least in a very long time). Cheers, TLR, from Tokyo,

My own (admittedly uneducated) theory is that DOW will bottom out at 10,800 by June. Then begin a very slow climb and be back to 14000 within 5 years.

Simiarly, peak home prices from 2005 won't be reached again until late 2012, early 2013.

Not a chance. This is no ordinary stock market.

They go into about an hour lunchtime shutdown here in Japan on the TSE. No kidding. That explains the lack of movement you are seeing, FD.

“It seemed like such a good idea at the time, to set up Asia as America’s manufacturer, protect the home market and export to beat hell.”

-

The next round of wealth, will be created (re)-industrializing America, to supply America’s needs - as American consumers tire of carrying the world’s economies on their shoulders via unfair trade practices.

Well, that's obvious. It hasn't been "ordinary" for awhile with all the news of the credit crunch.

When you seen a ton of bad news with high sell volume, that may very well be a signal that a bottom is in. Watch for it this week.
