STOCK MARKET: Let's talk stocks and investing

"This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end"

 

Philippine Market was down as high as -7% earlier this morning.. it was cool to watch (100% liquid since last week).. first time to see a meltdown like this

 

Are you saying you are going to buy this morning at the open? I am thinking of buying some index funds while they are low and continue to buy every couple of weeks. Holding on to my stocks and plan to buy more when I have enough to buy them up at lower prices.

 

I'm a trader, but your plan sounds relatively safe. I do expect the market to go lower over the next few weeks.

 

I bought nflx and apple calls about 5 min out of open. The bid ask were crazy wide though to be expected. I've unloaded a % of those since then. I was thinking spx to 1860 Ebola crisis at least.

 

I sold some stocks but I am hanging in there with others. It seems people have bought up quite a bit since the open. Went from 4% to 2.5% and has been hovering for a while. Seems like a good sign that the bottom won't continue to fall out but I don't know much.

 

I have some many to play with. ANy tips for a newb on which stocks to buy?

 

What do you guys think of Linn Energy? Will it bounce back?

 

Had my best day ever but man there was so much

 

Buy Netflix.

 

dead cat bounce in the US market? china is still falling

Edit: looks like it. S&P falling again

 

Good lord, the market is swinging hard today. I freed up some cash a couple months ago so looking to get back into the investing game again.

Anyone taking punts in the O&G sector? Or is it still projected to stay down for a long period of time?

Was really happy with my TEVA purchase couple months ago. I'm probably going to keep a look out for more Pharmas.

 

Whatever you do, don't be a dumb ass like me and put all your marbles in one basket without stops.

 

this is a great day traders paradise. buy on low . wait for it to close the gap then start shorting.

 

agreed congrats buddy! i love these days you can go two way. buy it up. sell. then sell it back down.

 

i wouldnt call it a dead cat bounce. it had more substance than that..more like a textbook fade the gap. market was trying to fade the gap to yesterdays close. this close will be interesting. either rip selling or some short covering.

 

I plan to open a Vanguard Roth IRA and drop $5,500. Going for the 2050 retirement fund which is 90% stocks. Any comments? Appreciated.

 

Hilarious watching these talking heads all pretend that a rate hike is just a few months down the road.

 

Those target date funds usually have a relatively high fee

 

My quotes were blowing up at the end of the day. My big trades were in some of these thinly traded ETFs.
