Also, looking at CL and NG prices some hedgefund manager is fucked. Trying to recover huge losses.Yes they are! I have been shorting them since January.
So many retirees and ones who plan on retiring soon are gonna be fucked.
Eh what goes down always goes back up.
i think you have that backwards . . .
Like bear sterns and lehman brothers?

Look what happened to optionsellers.com . Jist for the record the Japan market went down and really hasn’t gone back up.Yes buy the dip. But buy smart and DYODD first tho. If you want to retire soon you probably shouldn't have more than 50% of your nest egg in equities anyway. And like zero in options. If you want to retire soon and are buying into OTM naked calls/puts on nat gas, you are just a fool.
Or, don't buy any dips just buy more ammo and a secure place out of the way to store it. Preferably near a spring of potable water.

Do you think credit is endless?"Investing" in options is gambling. And who is invested in the Japanese market? Do you really think the world financial markets are going to collapse and never recover? Seriously??

I don’t necessarily think doomsday is here or anywhere close. I do not believe the too big to fail, the US can’t fail etc. Why am I here? I do better when I short equities. To me so many charts look completely upside down from normal. I think the middle class is being scammed. How many people trying to invest and use some sort of safety get completely screwed. Stops don’t even work because the trade computers have that all figured out. HF trading? WTF is that? Just let the big guys take everyone’s money. I bet GE is gonna come back one day...not. I believe the system that is in place is way to risky to have the entire middle class’ retirement savings in. It’s a matter of time until someone figures out how to bankrupt it.Yes. So if you think financial doomsday is here, why are you bothering with any of this? Any investment would be worthless. US dollar would be worth nothing. You should be investing in guns, ammo, land and a bunker in Montana.
Not true if you understand them."Investing" in options is gambling.
Yes, to benefit corporations, not the little guy.Not true if you understand them.
@David Taylor High frequency trading firms have reduced trading costs and improved liquidity.

Do you remember the french banker in 08 that “gambled” away $7 billion of investor’s money all by himself? There was not one safety in place to prevent that.
I believe in the basics - stay diversified, invest for the long-term, invest with reputable firms and you'll be fine.
Like a Turkey on the farm?
Personal belief, I'm not a market timer but I'm sitting out for a short while as much as I can. I'm not selling and taking capital gains, but I'm holding off on stock funds for a bit outside of the retirement account. Keeping "cash" in short-term bonds. So while I haven't sold everything, I'm not really buying.
We're coming up or at the end of a business cycle. A really really long one. The free money is gone, we no longer have TARP, low interest rates, etc and will have to pay for all that pumping. I can't tell you if that's a 20% reduction in asset values or 80%.
If there's a bubble like Tech in the late 90s, Real Estate in the late 2000s, I don't see it standing out. Not that it's not there, but I'm more inclined to say it's a bit of everything is in a bubble and we can see fair amount of downward movement in all sectors.
It all really doesn't matter to me, I'm young, don't have that much money invested and if asset prices fell 50% next week, it'd be a good thing for me...
