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).

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.

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

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

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!

Berkshire Hathaway shares down $6,240. Another loss like that and they'll be nearly below $100,000 a share!

If I had a few thousand dollars laying around right now I'd probably keep an eye on the Berkshire B shares and buy one when they settle down a bit.

Oil down to where is was last December (nearly) - one of those things that seemed to be important once...

Oct. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Sellers of credit-default protection on bankrupt Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. will have to pay holders 91.375 cents on the dollar, setting up the biggest-ever payout in the $55 trillion market.

nice understatmente...

The failures of Lehman, once the fourth-largest securities firm, and Seattle-based Washington Mutual Inc. as well as the government takeovers of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Iceland's biggest banks have provided the 10-year-old credit-default swaps market with its biggest test to date.

It's just a test. I thought it was real. Phew.
