If you're referring to CNT's advice...he's from Rogers! Leave us Bison out of it!

You can understand how it would be assumed, being there are only clowns in Buffalo

Well I suppose it's an easy mistake......for some of us..."clown" would be a compliment!

Well, if you waited that long to take action, no wonder you lost huge.

Looks like we've got another crystal ball reader - the 20/20 hindsight variety.

BTW - Any chance Bader's allowed back in - maybe just on the hockey board or maybe after election season? His input is sorely missed. (As are all his eye rolls).

AY

And don't jump from the same window as Bader.

Any guesses on where it ends up today (Thursday)? I'll say -300.

I'd say up early then down 300 to end the day. I'd have to think that we might me in a profit taking cycle for a while where the drastic swings are caused by brokers buying at sub 9000 levels then selling off again at +9500 levels. Buy. Sell. Repeat.

We have some huge market factors coming up, a probable election of a democrat to the Presidency giving all 3 power seats to one party, never a good thing for the markets. this will be closely followed by a predicted terrible Black Friday where many retailers won't make anywhere near the money they need to to make earnings estimates. Just an educated hunch but by December 1st we may be longing for the days when 9000 was a low point.

Not bad, not bad. It was looking like another big drop in the early going, and then things turned around.

It was way up and way down then back and forth around the unchanged mark until bargain buying kicked in again.
Try again tomorrow ?

Sure, why not? The volatility of the market is a little unsettling, however. But what do I care? CD's are safe until the market resolves itself.

How the heck did my post end up above the post I was responding to??? I know Mitch granted me powers, but this wasn't exactly what I had in mind.

Maybe I should predict your future

I'll guess again today that it will be up 40-50 points but only after recovering from a low start!

Disclaimer...please read you prospectus carefully before investing (or even guessing what will happen) as it upsets some posters

major swings will continue as everyone is trying to recoup some losses by value shopping and then short selling.

Pendulum needs something to stop the swinging

Hey Nostradumass aka Warren Buffet of MNHOCK aka CNT - Were you along for today's 11% gain in the DJ? See, that's the trouble with timing the market, how do you know when to jump in or out?

AY, if you don't time the market or the individual stock, how do you make money?

Another bear trap today.

Four words - Buy low, sell high.

Either that, or ask CNT....

Doesn't buying low and selling high require..... timing?

Posted: **Tue Oct 28, 2008 4:24 pm**

I prefer to buy low and then just leave it. I've got enough time that it'll make me $.

Thanks for caring but......
I moved back in when it was at 9k, and yes it's dropped since then... so AY I was in for the gain today, unfortunately I have not recovered from the drop from 9k to near 8k, however I anticipate that my timing will still pay off as the funds I moved back into were at what I thought was about as low as it could go at the time I bought back, either way I bought back at about a 30% discount from what I sold at so in time I will be better off.....at least that's the plan!

Folks who were in their late 50s 10 years ago said the same thing.
