Stocks rose sharply in volatile trading on Wednesday as surges in retail and energy shares helped Wall Street regain the steep losses suffered in the previous session.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded 657 points higher as of 3:05 p.m. ET, while the S&P 500 gained 3.05 percent. The Nasdaq Composite outperformed, rising 3.96 percent. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were on track for their biggest one-day gains since Aug. 26, 2015 and erased Monday's losses. The Dow also recovered all of its losses from Monday.

I've been hearing those gold marketers on talk radio for decades now. At least as far back as the Chuck Harder show.

I always wondered though...why were they always so eager to exchange their precious gold for my "soon to be worthless" currency?

“My son gave me a $250 Amazon gift card for Christmas. I’m 75...so running around in stores is to much work.”

I’m 80 now, and I started using Amazon Prime about 10 Christmases ago.

Now, I also, use the military exchange for good prices, free deliveries after about $45 and no sales tax.

I bought some good items at a good price from Costco on line.

>>>I predict the market will go up and down<<<

We obviously disagree.

I predict the market will go down and up.

Don’t get your hopes up. The Fed so inflated asset prices that the unwinding will be painful. Prior to today, it was only the first step down. Many more to come.

Buddy you have not seen anything yet. You have no friggen idea of what is going to happen like I do. Don’t get your hopes up for a political solution.

The market still has to gain 2000 points for me to break even from my investment last year. Right now I’m running a 3% to 10% loss on my initial investment in the market. It hasn’t been nice to me so far.

Did you make that up?

It's a great observation.

Heard it on a talk radio show about investments and it stuck. The average time from a crash to complete recovery is 4 months.

DARN...I missed my chance to get out at the bottom. Before this swing, I had a perfect record going.

“In a bear market, stocks are returned to their rightful owners.”


2 questions:

1. Who said that?
2. Who are the rightful owners?
