OneMoreLastCast Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 All I can say is Ouch.... Anyone else affected much? Quote
kritofr Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Fortunately, my account didn't suffer as I had moved most of my holdings to cash a while ago. Spent a lot of yesterday buying some stocks that I have been watching for a while Quote
OneMoreLastCast Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 Unfortunately I was busy and caught up in other things yesterday and didn't find out what was happening until late in the day. I won't know the total damage until I get time to work it all out, but it doesn't look good. I hope noone suffers too much from it. Quote
chidders Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 i don't even want to look. Probably the worst thing to do now is pull stuff out. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I lost 10,000 so im not a happy camper. Quote
reevesr1 Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Dow dropped a staggering 129 pts (he says tongue firmly in cheek). TSE gained 509!!!!! Guess we still have a bit of our money. Quote
TerryH Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 ...............TSE gained 509!!!!! We got the old "dead cat bounce" today. The real story -- good or bad -- will come in the days that follow. We old guys have ridden out this kind of drop before -- for you young guys, relax, it will be ok again, if you have time to wait. Terry Quote
WesG Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I lost 10,000 so im not a happy camper. Althought dollar wise my loss is not as big (being a younger investor and all), so far I have lost around %10 Quote
Taco Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 ShetHoss, that ain't nothin'...what about the jackass that put all my retirement money into a cattle hoof care company that nobody ever heard of and into realestate in a town that everybody drives through on the way to somewhere else........ talk about havin' to work till you're 85 :rolleyes: Quote
walker1 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I am down a grand! With weather this one out. Quote
Glenbow Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I lost way more when our great Prime Minister broke his election promise & taxed income trusts. I will for ever be indebted to him for that. Quote
fisher26 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Good old Conservatives eh? Say one thing do another. (When I come to think of it the Liberals were just as bad…) Quote
Fishietales Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Same the world over when it comes to politicians, they're all plonkers, whatever happened to the good old feudal system, LOL Quote
Taco Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Same the world over when it comes to politicians, they're all plonkers, whatever happened to the good old feudal system, LOL Because most of us would've been serfs is why My name in Fryslân means warrior or spear-carrier, maybe my ancestors were cannon-fodder in the good old daze Quote
Weedy1 Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 My name in Fryslân means warrior or spear-carrier, maybe my ancestors were cannon-fodder in the good old daze I really have no idea why I posted this except for I googled Fryslân, watched the video, and thought the dog played a great part. If anyone would like to translate, it would be appreciated. Quote
Taco Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Near as I can tell it has to do with the Friesland or Fryslân independence movement kinda similar to what happening Scotland. Sorry best I can do.. my frisian is rustier than my dutch. da dawg are pugugly Quote
troutlover Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I think i lost at least ten dollars yesterday until i realized i had a hole in my pocket. We all knew this was coming i locked in all my seg funds and put the rest where it's safe. It's time to buy! Quote
Fishietales Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Sooner us jocks get independence the better, then I can have the best of both worlds, my mothers family name was Surtees, means the Sir Tees, or the Knight of the Tees, legend has it he stood alongside Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn, " he was probably a cobler from Grimsby " but what the hell, nice to think my ancestors could have a colourful past, LOL Quote
