Unfortunately I also don't think we have seen the end of this decline. The fundamentals of the US economy look very weak imo. I think we will really see some bad things come October/November that is when all these job losses are going to show up.

    The 4000 FAA people out of work right now you can bet are affecting another 100,000 jobs. If we get another QE3 I think it will be around another 2 to 3 hundred billion injected and that is going to be a spit in the wind compared to the QE2 injection of 600,000 billion which helped job growth to the tune of about 3 percent. I would be surprised if we have job growth of even 1 percent right now.

    Anyway I hope I get out on a little upswing today but who knows what the last half hour the stock market will bring to us. Yesterday at the very end of the stock market session we lost over 1 hundred Dow points in 1 minute. That is Scary.

    Good Luck to All !
    Sucks to bail with such steep losses, but I was thinking about the same thing. I was going to bail last Friday, but changed my mind at the last minute...that'll teach me to think. I'm basically in a "10% loss is better than a 20% loss" mindset at this point. World o' hurt.

    Agreed, having that second IFT to jump back in certainly makes things a bit easier.

For others, it’s a long walk or time with the kids. For me, the best way to remove the emotion of the market is by drawing pictures with a purple crayon. It’s a habit that works out particularly well for me since I can actually call coloring “work.”

    Hey Fireant,

    Thanks for stopping by. You are not the only one that is late to getting out of equities. I did it myself by not getting out when I was positive 11 percent at one point. I rode it down 14 percent from that level to where I now sit at -3 percent. I don't know how much further we drop from here. All I know is the fundamentals for many different Buisness entities is very weak. And with the credit rating drop being the first drop on record that is not going to be forgotten so quickly as many things are.

    Well I ordered my new Medal Detector tonight and I hope I get very interested in medal detecting. It sure does seem like a great time to own one with the prices of silver and gold. Gold hit another high today $1805.00

    Hey Jpcavin,

    Actually the dicrimination settings on this machine I got have awesome reviews. For anyone interested I purchased the Minelab Safari detector. Minelab makes some very awesome detectors. They have been in this buisness for the last 50 years. The Military buy's all there detector type equipment from Minelab.

    I'm pretty excited about getting this unit. As some of you might know I'm leaving for vacation in less than two weeks. I'm once again going to Emeral Isle NC. I'm going to have fun using this on the beach. I hope to find some good stuff.
