That is also why folks now are wondering whether there was some insider trader involved with this unnecessary self-inflicted shit that never should have happened.
Just like we said it would.

Let's put it in simple math, you go into a casino with 450 dollars, lose 80 so you have 370. Then you win 30 so you're only down 50 and proclaim to be a genius as you walk out of the casino. If you're mathin' like Jethro, that means your down 50 of your original 450.
Now, if you want percentages you can take 1/9 ( 450/9=50) * 100 and you get 11.11 % LOSS.And you celebrate...
Of course the market went back up because the ass hat folded his 4 high hand and the bond market was calling his hand. Originally Posted by 69in2it69
We will have to see how this plays out. Right now, the European countries and much of the rest of the world is lining up to work out something with the USA.The market is dropping again.
China is defiant but isolated.
Anybody have the foresight to get out high and then bought the dip?

If they didn't then they're investment mix was not correct. If they didn't die destitute, they still had enough to live on.
I'm with LM on this one, I shifted to more protected positions and I'm waiting until there's stability to move back into this self created shit show. Originally Posted by 69in2it69
