man this is all so depressing. we made out really well selling our house, then we put the money in the market 3 weeks to hold until we bought our next house in 2-3 years... and we lose 10%+ of our value immediately
it's obviously going to go down more, because that's just my luck. sorry for dooming your retirement accounts guys

Either way, I expect to see a lot more "Zionists are destroying the world" threads on the poli board.

Unless you sold, you haven't lost anything yet. You still hold the same shares and this is only 3 days of trading. If you have 2-3 years until you buy a house that's plenty of time. Keep your head up....there is still a lot of ball to be played :)

I know, I'm not really panicking. I did sell one of our holdings and I know that was a mistake (took off all my stop losses but that one for some reason.. and it was the only ETF that rebounded today), but I'm standing firm with the rest. It just sucks to watch it all go away when we could have been buying now if we had just waited a month

dow will rally at least 500 points tomorrow.

meh, timing the market is a gift we all wish we had. It tears people up to think of what could have, would have etc. I don't know much about the market but as long as you never sell when you are losing technically you never lose.

I play the market like I play blackjack in a casino...I'll put in only what I'm willing to lose and let it ride..if I get up to the predetermined amount I wanted to make/win I cash out. I don't get greedy or feel bad about not leaving it in just because it went higher after I cashed out.

Will try to post some new spx/dow targets soon. Have to check out some charts.

dow futures down 130
Posted on 8/25/15 at 7:01 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
SPX target is 1810 to 1820. A test of 1800 wouldn't surprise me.

Bottom where on your chart? At what point if it breaks through does it not have a floor?
I'm probably not using the correct verbiage as I'm not a technical guy, but curious what you're seeing.
My basic understanding is we are at, or were at a head and shoulders chart as of Monday.

Just my opinion, but I have a move to lower 1800's then a bounce back to 1960/1970 area. Afterwards I think another big move down happens.
SPX 1700 area is interesting to me for multiple reasons.
Will see how it plays out.
What's your opinion as far as potential targets?

Damn
We blew our rainbows and unicorns wad today and it fizzled out.
It might be red across the board the entire week.

I'm not at all a chart guy, and any guess I have is purely a guess. That's why I asked you. I listen to chart guys about every afternoon, but outside of thinking it looked like a classic head and shoulders, I have no clue what most of it means.
I am almost 100% fundamentals, and I need to learn how to add the technicals in tot he equation at some point. point. I can give a thousand well thought out long term reasons to not buy certain Nasdaq stocks right now, or on any dip unless it has fundamentals. And I bet long term I'm right, but I don't understand charts very well at all.

You appear to be looking at only the current futures value. To get the correct implied opening of the DJ you have to take the difference between the current futures value and the futures fair value amount.
As of right now the implied DJ opening is UP by about 50 points on the Dow Jones in spite of the current futures being negative.

Support from 2009, no?

The 2009 low for the S&P 500 was 666.79 on March 6.

Was looking at trend lines and moving averages on the weekly SPX chart. That 1700 area looks interesting.
