    OK, I'm closing DTO. It looks like the downtrend has been broken now. We'll wait to see how high this bounce goes.

    I'm not sure, but it's probably because you touch yourself at night.

    That or lack of investor confidence.

    People trying to cash in on yesterday's gains as well as nervousness about the next batch of third quarter earnings...

    Wonder how low we can go this week with profit forecasts being lowered left and right.

    Actually, being down 200 isn't a big dip in this markets' volatile times.

    You can have a relatively flat week (which I predict is what this week will do) with huge gain days combined with loss days.

    Bear markets are just extremely volatile. Expect to see these type of swings for a while.

    100% agree, I was just trying to see what happened in the 20 minute stretch when the market dropped 190 points.

    AAPL might be a steal right now. It's just over 91, and they reported their earnings with a profit of over 1B.

    What do you guys think?

    damn i was hoping for the typical aapl earnings reaction where people drive the stock down, at which point i could buy a couple of april options for when it inevitably goes up when people realize the earnings were good news. but it's actually going up. which i guess is still good b/c i own shares.

    When did you buy it long??

    By the way, since after hours it's trading at 102 now, does that mean if i buy it I have to pay the after hours price, or the price that it closed at?

    Sorry, for asking, I just started trading.

    I bought last Wednesday. You won't be able to trade after hours, so the price you'll get is whatever it opens at tomorrow morning (which isn't the after hours price or the price it closed at).
