When I was a programmer many years ago at a little boutique firm in NYC, on the very cusp of computer trading, the NYSE wanted us to write their system. Owner of the company was this very nice, brilliant, but mousy nerd. Something spooked him during one meeting (I was not there) and he declined the job. He was visibly flustered that day. Always wanted to know what happened.

I really only follow it to try and see potential trouble on the horizon for my sales. I have to keep an eye on everything that might affect my sales. Personally I invest my money where I know I'll get a good return, in inventory for me to sell. I put some away in IRA's but have been working towards self funding my inventory and hope to get there in the next few years. I get to that point, and I have life by the ass.

Well...this is the way Equities woulda bin if the FED didn't step in, in September of 2012...
So you have enjoyed a nice 6 year ride... This will equate to Main Street before very long.

Some think that they have already tried...the FED used proxy buyers to buy up what they were dumping to keep interest rates stable.

It maybe necessary for the FED to make a statement that they will do what it takes to insure the economy does not fall off a cliff. Put rate hikes on hold or even lower rates again if necessary.
This instability in Equities is a reflection of the chaos in the economy and political realm. Nobody can afford this...and the danger is that it will all get out of hand...and if it does whoops there goes your nice day. Even if on the sidelines you are being effected and it is only a big dummy who thinks that they may not be....

According to an article I just read, the DOW is up 300 at the open on "hopes" of a deal between the US and China.. Not sure exactly what is bolstering their hopes.

 . We got a foot of snow, then ice, then my street was plowed for the first time ever....freakin' ice boulders  I don't even have a snow shovel.... We are southerners....and don't know doodly-squat about snow...but my street would be fine by now if some azzhole hadn't plowed it and made a huge mess. That's how we roll here....wait 'til the sun melts it.....I credit Al Gore

Well I was just going to comment that you Boyz 401k results are going to be in shreads come the end of the qtr. That ought to get yer attention. Nothing like feeling a little pain to sharpen your wits up from complacency. But ya already beat me to the sentiment.

Mine is doing fine. I have a low exposure to equities since I am retired.
I balance my holdings every quarter so I have been taking profits during the run up. Trying to time the market is most difficult. |
