Uh, can you say market shake out!!

Well,

I watched the market shoot up 450 points in about an hour before the close of trade on a rumor in a magazine. This is the most psychotic market ever. Either your out of the market and wondering what the hell is going on, or your in it and scared as hell and hoping to get off the roller coaster before it falls apart. 401k to hell with that.

Are these fed stick saves or is this sheeple running toward any positive news? Glad I got my last bit out last week, I gotta get off this ride. Markets supposedly like stability, and with the recent volatility they aint seen stability recently.

Everyone place your bets for tomorrow, does the DOW go back up to 11,000 or crash back to 10,350. The casino is open.

Well since I bit the bullet and we closed on our building for our firearms store today----------------my view of this market is--------Its the end of the world as we know it and you must buy protection, security, safety, etc.... We are a class 3 dealer and we can set you up with autos, suppressors, ammo , armor, you name it. Its the end man. Spend your hard earned money with us before its worthless. I sold off part of my retirement to do this and i now have well , alot of headaches but I sure wasn't going anywhere with my savings. That's how i view this market------------I got out partially and tipped the FEDS with my 10 % penality and all my license fees.

Sometimes,when a ship is sinking,people will rush to the highest point of the ship,still sticking above the surface.

I remember the good old days when a company would make a product, and sell that product at a profit. If the company sold enough products at a profit, their stock would go up.

If they were not successful at making a profit, their stock would go down. Nowdays the market is driven by what people SAY, not what they MAKE. It is a sad, unpredictable state of affairs.
