It's making the HUEG European losses look a tiny bit less HUEG now as well.

"3:39pm:
George Bush tried to calm the panic. He announced steps to root out fraud in the markets and promises "aggressive" global action. "We are sending out an unmistakable signal that we are in this together and we will come through this together," he said. He insisted that the US economy is "resilient". But, on the markets the immediate reaction to his brief speech was negative. The Dow and FTSE were lower after he finished."

BOMB THE NIKKEI

― joseph sixpack (ice crӕm), Friday, 10 October 2008 14:43 (seventeen years ago)

Wait who's George Bush?

― David R., Friday, 10 October 2008 14:44 (seventeen years ago)

His first response to Katrina was to root out fraud as well (insurance, in that case).

― Eazy, Friday, 10 October 2008 14:46 (seventeen years ago)

I could have sold my stocks a couple weeks ago and bought back in much lower, instead of sticking to that "leave it in for the long term" old man schtick. Hindsight is a bitch. Let's just hope nothing I own goes bankrupt.

― Everything is Highlighted (Hurting 2), Friday, 10 October 2008 15:02 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, now I'm starting to worry too. I am of the "own it and never touch it" school but this is getting scary.

― Neotropical pygmy squirrel, Friday, 10 October 2008 15:11 (seventeen years ago)

I think I should have at least sold my smaller stocks and put everything into solid too-big-to-fail companies. Again, hindsight is a bitch.

― Everything is Highlighted (Hurting 2), Friday, 10 October 2008 15:16 (seventeen years ago)

Anything that bounces right back I just don't trust. A V shaped bottom seems something to steer clear of to me

― Kondratieff, Friday, 10 October 2008 15:18 (seventeen years ago)

i hope that no cats are hurt in the making of this recession

― gabbneb, Friday, 10 October 2008 15:21 (seventeen years ago)

i had a cat once. then the stock market ATE IT.

― rent, Friday, 10 October 2008 15:25 (seventeen years ago)

predictions where this will close today? i'm saying -6.81%

― rent, Friday, 10 October 2008 15:26 (seventeen years ago)

7,800?

― Eazy, Friday, 10 October 2008 15:33 (seventeen years ago)

It's really fucked up that someone like me who's poo-poo'ed 401Ks and decided to save (with partial success) for a Roth IRA is actually in a BETTER position right now than most who have gone with more standard savings approaches.

Mackro -- you do your Roth contributions yearly?

― Kramkoob (Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃), Friday, 10 October 2008 15:35 (seventeen years ago)

Either that or one instance of my paranoia has actually paid off for once.

― obamaloverholeinyohead (Mackro Mackro), Friday, 10 October 2008 15:37 (seventeen years ago)

xp - lol, I haven't gotten to the minimum amount to start one yet but I'm close.

― obamaloverholeinyohead (Mackro Mackro), Friday, 10 October 2008 15:38 (seventeen years ago)

and after that, I would plan to contribute at least yearly to it (if allowed to contribute more often than yearly)

I thought Roth IRA caps were based on dollar amounts?

Anyway, my meager 401K is probably putting the bit it's already spit back in its mouth to spit it even farther. Good thing I don't save money!
