Ditto. Last couple days.

I'll keep buying all the way dowwwwwn
I think 6 months from now there are going to be a lot of people kicking themselves that they didn't buy BAC where it is today.

Full disclosure: I bought 6,000 more shares of BAC today.

I'm young, but from my experience most of these "corrections" or "downturns" start steam rolling in September and October, is there a reason this occurs or just coincidence?

I've read a lot of theories about that.

One of them, and it's no more and no less credible than any of the other theories, is estimated taxes are due on 9/15 and tax filing extensions are due on 10/15 of each year. So the 'wealthier' taxpayers who pay estimated taxes and file for tax extensions who may have more taxes due on 9/15 & 10/15 have to raise some cash to pay their taxes so they sell stocks to raise the cash.

That's my story and I'm s....s...s....stickin' to it!

People still use the Dow30 as a market proxy?

After the bell today Morning Star raised its "Fair Value Estimate" for BAC from $16 to $18/share.

Shock - take a look at BP. $40 today. It will head back to 50. And a good dividend (5.7%)

But it could be 35 or lower before that happens...

Yep. Now I am trying to decide if I want to put a stop behind it.

My GILD buy looks to be paying off as well.

It didn't take 6 months, only two weeks and 4 days.

BAC was $15.55 when I posted the above quote. It hit $17.35 this morning, or a gain of almost 12% since I posted it.

I'll never understand why investors get so spooked when stock prices decline.
