guys jumping off buildings in NYC.. this is going to be bad

Seriously?

not yet..

 

[cosjobs]

up 20k last week, but its moving all around. At the open I was up 26

now 9

crash, wait

 

[humpback]

Take a look at the chart from this a.m. of some "boring" stocks like VZ, HD, JPM, COST, etc. Insanity.

 

[culdeus]

wow aapl opened at 95. hfs

 

[JB Breakfast Club]

I'm a novice, but I picked up Netflix for 96.90 a share as a long-term hold. The short-term stuff is too intense for me.

Nice, glad I timed that right getting in at $130. Ha fml.

 

[culdeus]

Hey, well at least the feds won't raise interest rates.

 

[Card Trader]

W....T.....F :(

 

[George Jefferson Airplane]

Where does Dow need to be to meet the 10% pullback you always hear mentioned.

16000 or so

And we're here!

Alert Triggered for Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF SCHB decreased -15.60% today and is currently trading at $40.51.

Please note you will receive only one "Price Changes (X)% Since the Prior Day's Close" alert per day for Schwab U.S. Broad Market ETF.

Well I have that going for me

One of my bigger holdings of the ETF's in my Roth IRA that I have with Schwab.

I'll be the glass half full guy. If you have cash ready, what's the one blue chip you're getting into at a discount?

I've never owned AAPL, and am considering dipping in as a long term holding.

 

[FUBAR]

looks like it's coming back up, a little.

 

[George Jefferson Airplane]

It's all a guess right now as to when to get back in.

If it's a correction, get in now.

If it's the beginning of a 2007/2008 crash, don't even think about it.

If it might snow a lot this year, buy a snow blower.

If not, don't.

JNJ rings all the right bells for me, but I would consider not putting all your eggs in one basket. If you believe you've caught a bottom, not a terrible idea to pick a low commission broad market ETF and spread some risk around. But its your $.

 

[tommyGunZ]

siff, where are you? Get your ### in here and opine!

 

[GoBirds]

Now that we checked that box, make it stop!

 

[Smack Tripper]

I have had 20k in cash waiting for a day like today. Do I go all blue chips?

you think today is the "bottom" for this correction?

I'm not so sure a little more doesn't come off. It looks horrible out there. I think things may drop more in the near term. But i agree a buying opportunity is "forming"

Is everyone still waiting to buy??

Right now, yes. Worse start that I thought.

BTWI'm in the same position as you Buddy and looking to do the same.

Let the smart guys here tell us when to go IMO. I'm nearly certain it's not going to be today.

Looking to be live for half that. keep us posted!

 

[dschuler]

Apple has been insane today. Their market cap has risen about $100 Billion from it's low this morning. It's change in value today is more than the total worth of Netflix, Tesla, and Twitter combined! Just unreal.

 

[Plorfu]

Fighting back! 'Murica! Fly bald eagle, fly!

 

[Dentist]

That was an extremely rapid bounce back.

Thanks, Obama

 

[culdeus]

I wish schwab could tell me what my intraday net worth low to high was. Because that would probably have me needing to change underwear.

 

[Judge Smails]

I hope this doesn't make another run downward.......I do have some Ultrashort stuff for downward protection but still...Got down to only 120 point loss and now back up to 250

 

[Johnnymac]

I was going to add more AAPL and damn did that change quickly.

 

[Righetti]

Seriously?

hope they can get their money back

 

[Sand]

Damn. Right before a meeting this morning SCTY was at 37. Came out of meeting and it was at 47. Really wanted some under 40. Drat. Crazy price action.

 

[Buddy Ball 2K3]

Think it will get close to $100 again?

So when do we buy on apple?

 

[Sweet J]

I have a decent amount of money in my government retirement. (TSP). I thought about taking about half of it and putting into the "securities" fund (right now 20-25% is in). At least for now. Any thoughts?

Apple is tricky, you have to think with the carrier model in the US changing and China somewhat imploding that their 12 month growth prospects are pretty slim. The mega ipad just seems useless.

Profits are still huge, but growth is meh.

 

[lod01]

A down year for the S&P 500 in 2015 would be the first time since 1945 that the third year of the Presidential cycle would be negative, and the first time since 1905 that a year ending in "5" closed lower.

We have that going for us. ...which is nice.

Agree. Their market cap is huge, and all their cash is overseas. Lot of people love to buy Apple stock and their products though.

If it dips under 100 we buy right? right??

 

[eoMMan]

Just buy an S&P500 fund or EFT and be done with it.

You have 20-25 percent in the C fund???

Tanking again. Tread lightly.

UGA cracked 30. I had buy order in at that price back in late January and I thought that ship was long gone.

Sorry, talking to the guy looking to buy something when the market is tanking.

Bouncing around like Super Happy Fun Ball. Don't taunt SHFB.

I have mine split pretty evenly between the Internaional, S, and C fund. I think the C fund went up like 38% in one year a few years back. I don't even want to see how bad they have performed over the last week though

Looks like about:

15% in G Fund (Gov't securities)

15% in F Fund (Fixed Income Index)

24% in C Fund (Common Stock)

23% in S Fund (Small Cap)

23% in I Fund (International)

Ric Edelman and Dave Ramsey recommend about 60% in C FWIW.I have 40%, but have had as much as 50 in the past. G Fund is basically a cash fund these days, I'd probably shift most of that to C if I were you. I have 5 percent there. Your S and I contributions are similar to mine.

 

[lod01]

I'm all in. After sitting on the sidelines since Aug. 11th. I've decided that an 8% lower market is good enough for me. Beats losing that 8%. It's like gaining 8% on everyone else.

We now need the PPT - Plunge Protection Team to come out with some BS that at least temporarily gives us a bounce.

Isn't financial adviser advice always to buy buy buy??!!!
