Not at all. It's funny.SmileWavy You are wound a little too tight. But you already knew that.

Keep dancing on that mine field

Good lord you are such fine entertainment. I'm actually in talks with Netflix now about pilot with you as the central character. They seem interested on many levels. So, thank you! Maybe 2021, fingers crossed.

You are adorable. Joe already spanked you once, don't make me have him come back and slap you around again.

Oh and I'm serious about the Netflix thing! You write yourself. It's beautiful!

Is this a private fight? Or can any Irishmen join?

No fight, someone just forgot to flush.

That makes you Irish, but only if you are drunk now.

looks like it'll open down a couple percent this morning, giving half the gains back from yesterday.

Up a bunch one day, down half the next, repeat.
If it keeps up like this, even a dummy like me can do good :)
Until they change the plan.
Sometimes the market makes me feel like a fish looking at the lure and trying to decide.
I think I'll sit on the bench and watch for a few days to see what happens.

Broker websites including Fidelity report outages during wild trading in US markets

Fidelity says it resolved intermittent technical issues it had earlier Tuesday on its websites, while TD Ameritrade says its website is running slowly.
Merrill reports some slowness accessing online sites because of “unprecedented” trading volume.
The Dow Jones industrial average, which fell 1,175 points on Monday, opened Tuesday sharply down before reversing and entering positive territory in the first half hour of trading.

A Fidelity spokesman said late Tuesday morning that the firm, with $2.2 trillion under management, resolved intermittent technical issues on its website. A message on its website earlier in the morning said, “Our homepage is temporarily unavailable but don’t worry, we’re working quickly to fix this problem.”

TD Ameritrade said in a message on its website: “Due to volatile market conditions we are currently experiencing slowness on our web platform.” It advised people to try one of its mobile apps or a related company website.

On Twitter, people complained they were unable to access Merrill Edge, a brokerage website operated by Bank of America. A spokesman said in a statement, “Our systems remain operational. Some clients reported slowness logging into My Merrill and Merrill Edge due to unprecedented trading volume.”

After falling a record-setting 1,175 points on Monday, the Dow Jones industrial average opened sharply down again on Tuesday before climbing back into positive territory during the first half-hour of trading in New York. As of 11:52 a.m. ET, the Dow was up 52 points.

On Monday, a few brokerages reported temporary issues or slowness on their customer websites, including T. Rowe Price and TD Ameritrade, that were resolved. Fidelity told CNBC its customers remained calm, and its website appeared to have no issues.

Fidelity had some temporary outages on its website in November that blocked customers from accessing their online accounts and offered free trades to compensate.

Tomorrow will be the highest percentage gain in history.

Never did understand the benefit of a SEP IRA until recently. Accountant told me what my limits are so I'm buying with each dip. Going to buy some more today before the markets close if it ends up down. I figure buying at the end of a down day lowers my cost per share of the fund so why not do it?

The futures sure seem to point to a hell of a buying point tomorrow...this could hurt!

Austrailia down 5.94%
Shanghai down 2.41%
Hang Seng down 3.61%
Nikkei down 5.67%
Taiwan down 2.15%

Crude will be in the 20's

Shifting money into buy mode. But we could be dropping for a while.
