Goodnight sweet stock market..
Discussion
DOW is plummeting and Bernanke is going to speak. I bet that it plummets to around 9,000 today when he opens his mouth
End well this will not.
FTSE is down too. My share portfolio (Heavily AIM) is also f
ked...
Am i the only one who want this to get sorted. The quicker we reform the better the world will be (hopefuly)

I am with you....Horrid times.
Someone has to be piling in soon surely, the only fun I've had recently is day trading the FTSE 100 tracker ETF over the last few weeks, huge bets and you can make some money...and lose a lot too but then you adjust your investment timeframe!!!
FTSE Will be 6,000 by Christmas...........Maybe.....Probably not

1) To be doing AIM, you must be a pro so you're probably loaded anyway so just accept the hit as a small part of your investment strategy.
2) Would you really care that much if you were flat?

1) Well to do. But not loaded by any means. Just frustrating seeing gains whittle away when you know the fundamentals are so strong.1) To be doing AIM, you must be a pro so you're probably loaded anyway so just accept the hit as a small part of your investment strategy.

2) I am pretty much flat right now. No major losses (yet) as i bought in low some time back. But a very red day overall..

Sorry, I was just having a mean dig. AIM is a dangerous market to invest in. I recall the likes of Horseapple repeatedly telling us to stick to blue chip companies. Boring but lower risk.2) I am pretty much flat right now. No major losses (yet) as i bought in low some time back. But a very red day overall..
Good luck.
(By flat, I mean no positions.)

Well that's crap because they fell too. It makes no difference, just size your position accordingly to the risk.Tyson1980 said:

Dow at 10565 - by and large, Bernanke is a friend of the stock market - only once, AFAIK, has it dropped following his speech.

don't you guys feel you are calling it too early?
the ftse got down to around 3500 in 2003 and to around 3500 (ish) in 2008 so why when it is around 5,000 now when banks and countries are on the edge do you think it is time to go in?
you can't time the market etc but do you not think it could easily fall to say 3,000 and stay there for years on end?

Thats the hard one to answer.
If you know that you'd put your house on it ...
Are we now at the cliff edge ?
Another question are the politicians enjoying playing a game with the markets to show them who's boss. First the USA and it never recovered to previous levels and the ongoing eurozone.
In time we will all look back at this era thankful that we passed it and sorted out our debt.
The one thing I'm learning from this whole episode is that consumers are permanently changing their attitude towards debt. This is a good thing debt is bad and strangles spending once fully leveraged. Literally every day I have conservations with people and its all worry and fear. They are all monstering the overpayments of their debts now and have been for years. Some who I've known for years now talk with real passion about mortgage free dates and how many years they have cut off their mortgage by overpaying. It's great for the individuals but if it's done en mass it's not good for the country as growth vanishes. But once we clear our personal debt and then pay down our nations debt our nation will be like a pheonix out of the fire in a new world of saving for something then buying it instead of want it now buy it on the never never.
