You know when the president cancels two fundraisers......that something finally got his attention. He didn't even cancel for Benghazi.

Where's our other stock "genius" Macky? Where's your analysis, Mac?

When he cancels a vacation to Martha's Vineyard ... that ... that is when I'll be worried ...

I don't think he's even to cancelling golf outings yet though. We have a ways to go.

Could this be the crash many have predicted?

Moved my money today.

What mess? There's slow growth, declining unemployment, deficits/gnp falling, no inflation. Europe may be stalled out, and in part because of Putin, but its sure not 2008

"Slow" growth!?!?! OK...."declining unemployment"!?!?! OK "Deficits/GNP falling!?!?! OK. "No Inflation"!?!?!? OK So, basically, you're saying that America is in a good place, right?


Sonny, my advice to you is to get your ass out of the market NOW - you are a fucking idiot and don't need to be playing with what little cash you have.....


There is NO growth - let alone "slow" growth

Declining unemployment? Yep part time jobs.

Deficits falling? Unfunded mandates - 150 TRILLION dollars

No Inflation? The Government is the only thing propping up the economy right now.

Jesus Christ.........

The socialist Obama apologists like bendog are classic aren't they? When people give up on getting a full time job and take a part time one or quit looking completely, they crow how great it is for the economy.

Why would there be a lack of liquidity? Is the report saying there just weren't any buyers at the price sellers were asking for specific stocks? This morning, cnbc was attributing the drop to slower growth in Europe and recent retail sales and PPI in the US.

I would be very careful about believing anything you hear on CNBC.

LOL, it's the best news channel by far. You just can't hear news without your beloved liberal spin

As usual.
Well the spinmeisters pushing one investment or another, or sector or another, are all snake oil sellers. But, imo, the general analysis of what investor sentiment is leading to a particular market behavior ON A DAILY BASIS is generally as accurate as any other. But as to specific investment advise, a ojeda board would at least be unbiased.

CNBC is business reporting. If they were pushing investments, their ratings will collapse. You just assume that business people are as bigoted as you are. CNBC is great because they tell us the news from the perspective of the market.

Liberals are so completely fucking arrogant. You have no problem telling me that which I watch all the time and you never do. You're a sock puppet with a liberal politicians hand going through your ass to controlling your brain.

Well said, Kaz. As usual.

Indeed. We are doing fine......all is well.....


Anything to prop up this incompetent slob we are saddled with.....

Well now, C'Mon...remember what the Idiot Pelosi said "This gives those people the opportunity to do more "creative" things in their lives, like being photographers or dancers or whatever is in their creative natures".


Yes Sir.......all is well.......

 

[EconChick]

Yeahhhhhh, all this volatility over the past week is because the economy is sooo great. roll eyes

 

[EconChick]

The press can be caught ACTIVELY trying to stem the market drop by talking UP the market. LOL

 

[Toro]

And that surprises you how exactly? Every economist in the world has been predicting this for the last 2-3 years.

No they haven't.

Discounting a Republican victory in November.

Hahaha.

I'm mostly in cash and looking for an entry point to trade on the long side. We may have gotten it today, but I haven't done anything yet.

 

[Valerie]

i was a buyer today.

 

[Toro]

I'm getting close to buying for a trade.

The selling is being driven by hedge funds, and the lack of prop desks that used to absorb the volatility but have since been eviscerated by Dodd-Frank.

The fundamental reasons behind the sell-off are slowing growth in Europe and China, and the end of QE.

Stocks remain expensive, and the outlook is murky. Thus, anything I buy is for the short-term.

i sold off some holdings earlier in the summer with a plan to buy back in at a better price in the fall.

today i nibbled..or dipped my toes a bit, so to speak...too nervous to jump in with both feet yet.

There was a tinderbox full of reasons but the spark was ebola fears, especially about its impact on airline industry. Anyone who says differently is uninformed.

I bought to close my position in ARGT puts today so I would guess that means that ARGT should take off like a rocket now, for what its worth.

Let's see if tomorrow brings another sick Ebola patient. At the rate these incompetents are going....wouldn't surprise me.

 

[JWBooth]

Kept falling right up till the moment a fed official announced it was going to keep pumping monopoly money forever, then it bounced back.

 

[Toro]

Bought on Thursday, sold on Friday.

We'll see if there is some more bottoming next week.
