It looks like more of a down side today in the markets. How far will it go? Me, an easy 1%.

It's pretty ugly down 122 now premarket but this is buying day, Im not scared of lots of near retirees and others who are panicking and selling. Im gonna have the ability to add great companies at great prices today thanks to their fear.

I'm still sitting on the side... I'm in no hurry.

Watched a lot of the financial shows over the weekend and tons were suggesting taking gains on Monday and waiting it out. We shall see if that actually happens or not. I wonder if people are really going to take that approach.

I mean look, neither you nor i can pick the bottom, the media is a pain in the arse, one minute they say the end is near, just now i read CNN and they have no bs a picture of a rainbow and say 2014 is going to be the year of the economy

LINK

You might catch the bottom you might not, in april I saw apple at $390 and told myself it was a buy based on its valuation, but I waited foolishly and it took off to $460 within a few days. I know now if the valuation looks good, buy it.

JimBeam, some big names are down 10% in the last month or so, that IS a big drop. Just remember," Its better to be a great company at a good price than a good company at a Great price"

I'm buying for roughly 30 more years, so a Friday and Monday in June of 2013 means borderline nothing.

Does suck for those on the fixed income

I mean chinese stocks got hammered over night bc the bank of china warned them all to tighten up on the shady loans. Have you seen that piece on the ghost towns of china? There are gigantic cities built out that are empty, so this isn't really a big shock. I do still believe in the chinese growth story, you have to when they're growing by 80M people a year.

This is nothing more than a blip in the scope of things, its still buy time, enjoy the great prices

For those waiting on the sidelines to make their "first investment". You need to drop that bad habit as soon as possible, this strategy will break your heart. Time is your friend, timing is your enemy.

I'm one of those retirees and no, I'm not scared. I just day trade.

Oh, looking at GG again. Looking for it to drop below 23.23.

What's to be concerned about? Rates have been kept artificially low for too long, IMO.

I been trading it for some time, but it is almost out of play for day trading. I will watch it a bit more though. I still see more of a drop for it in the very near future. A bottom of around 21.65 or so before it returns above the $25 range. That can change come July in there report.

LSU Russian, would you buy long-term municipal
bonds now in the 5% range (non-taxable), or wait
to see if rates are on the rise?

I'm the wrong person to ask about buying bonds. I've never bought a bond of any kind in my life. Sorry.
