Stocks got hammered last week and futures are in the red for tomorrow…

Gentlemen…this could be the equities bubble bursting. If so I hope you are sitting on more cash than stocks and will enjoy the upcoming sale as much as I will!

[economistParticipant 225]

I’ve seen a lot of people say that it’s only going to get worse in the future. Which stocks are you watching particularly?

[MENGINEERParticipant 583]

Agreed the recovery bubble will burst soon!

Why does anyone in their right mind think pieces of paper (no matter how elaborate their printing) have anything that can be construed as value??

Ah the good old … beautiful flawed fiat system. Just like the cars … looks wonderful on the outside whilst held together with rust and a s~~~ electrical system.

I would say the crash is here. Hold onto your butts and dont panic.

Got a a huge bonus coming and I’m sitting on some cash. Sounds like it should be a buyer’s market soon. A lot of my stop losses popped and I was able to reduce my risk. However, when is a good time to buy? Hmmm, time to watch this market like a Hawk… with a huge penis and testicles.

Don't stick your dick into anyone you aren't willing to put up with for eighteen years and nine months.

Personally I’m planning on waiting until December when the inevitable doom and gloom of “people aren’t buying enough” will be reported by media outlets. I’m not sure it will be the bottom at that point, but the just about everything I’ve been investing in has been steadily on decline since January. I hope it bounces back enough today to stay even, or I just picked a really s~~~ty time to re-arrange my Roth IRA. 🙂

I feel like the next recession is right around the corner at this point. Will be interesting to see what happens to the markets in the next few months considering the turbulence this morning. Hopefully for those of us that save rather than owe, it will be one of the best opportunities to make money that we’ve seen in a long time. I’m hoping the real estate market is effected as well, I would very much like to get a hold of some cheap property.

I like dividend payers. I’m also looking to hold long term and reinvest dividends until I retire, so large companies that have already weathered many recessions and have a decent history of paying dividends are top of my list. KO, CLX, JNJ, T, MMM, K maybe some financial and utility companies…basically I’m more interested in hitting many singles than swinging for home runs. Its probably better off just going with mutual funds and index funds, but I hate paying those vultures their fees.

In reality your buying partial ownership of a business, I mean, considering your just a traditional buy and hold investor and not gambling on commodities or the like. I’d hate to break it to you but if the stock market crashes so bad that all stock are literally worthless, the only physical investments that will have any value will be food and ammo. If you own real estate big deal…commercial or residential your ability to find a stable renter is going to plummet…you’ll be stuck paying taxes, maintenance, and court fees to get non payers evicted, and if you can’t afford that you either get foreclosed on or get to enjoy having a lien placed on your properties. If you invest in physical precious metals big deal…if the s~~~ hits the fan that hard nobody is going to give a f~~~ about a gold bar, its less useful than any of the 20 steak knives in my drawer I paid 9,99 for like 10 years ago.

Physical gold and silver for me mate.
No paper money, no bank, no investments, no retire fund plans, no stocks.
My next goal is a piece of lang big enough for farming exploitation. After that… we will see.
In terms of “when” the next recession is coming, I look for signs from others: the unpegging of the swiss frank ato the EURO, the big commodities purchase by banks (I think it was JP morgan that bouth 3.8 trillion, not sure), countries hoarding gold….
Those are signs clear enough for me (there are smaller ones but there are too many of them to list them all).

In terms of stocks, dividends and owning part of a company…. thats fair when markets are solid. If they are not, you most likely will end up owning a portion of what is left of the company (so your investment lost value).
If you are smart enought to know what company will not fall, then you will make mad returns, but I always say that everytime there is a high chance of loosing most of what you invest vs small chance of getting filthy rich, you are basically playing the lotttery (since its the big money, governemnts and banks who will eventually decide who lives and gets bailed out and who does not).

Yeah I’ve been bag-holding since April on OXGN with their phase 3 drug…

Did anybody see the huge surge on AQXP?? 2 dollars to 20 dollars to 55!?!?

I tried my hand trading last summer, started with 4k, didn’t know what I was doing really, got up to 8 thousand, then that pattern day trading rule hit me hard… Loved learning about this stuff, then got into Currencies… man I loved it, currency trading is just so liquid, haven’t done futures but want to.. I just got a new job so I’ll have some money coming in again.

Anybody here on stocktwits?

You know we should really band together and help each other out. I watch the market.

I’ve been subscribed to Stock Horizon for almost a year now,

http://stockhorizon.com/ad/M

The alerts are pretty good and I have the app on my phone. The free sonar link only updates every minute as opposed to every second on Gazer.

Sonar helps me screen out stocks the night before and pre-market, although I stopped because my account isn’t above 25k and currency trading is more liquid, but I’ve watched a bunch of plays and missed out. Frustrating.

We should all work together! Any short sellers here?
