Oh man I was gonna say dbacks post count.

6840. Down 222 today.

Carefull, you make yourself go insane if you constantly watch the ticker.

It's gotta start somewhere, so the time to buy in is.........now.

That's the truth. I check it maybe twice a day. Sometimes I'll check it 3.

I check my largest 5 holdings about 4 or 5 times a day when I hear the market is going crazy. Its easy to do on Yahoo Finance if you set up an account (free). I just want to make sure nothing has gone completely nuts - more to alert me when to buy than when to sell. I don't want to set limit orders with too long a duration because things are changes so rapidly now, so I do them in my head instead.

I also own a few acquisition targets so I check those daily for any announcements.

But I generally don't watch the DJIA - its not correlative to my holdings. At least I tried to avoid it these days.

I never watch the Dow. Just fun for talking points. I watch about 8 or 9 markets in total if I am running stats or doing an portfolio analysis. Limits and stops right now are probably atrocious to keep track of, I am glad I don't need to. With 3% swings as if it is nothing each day, you would go nuts.

The market will rebound just in time for me to make some investments.

nope, wait a little longer...

Yeah, well what has a number of 700?



that would be the S&P 500, which once stood at over 1500.

And Nasdaq is about 1/2 what IT used to be as well.....

Agreed...

I see a major shakeup happening on the Hill...then Obama reads the "riot act" to the Dem leadership. Geithner's just a puppet...so until there's some competence at Treasury, and the mess on the Hill is cleaned up, the slope is still downhill.

Britain's Brown isn't helping things either. His call for a "Global" rewrite of the economy only fuels the destabilization.

If I were a BANK CEO, I'd have had to worry about that $500,000 cap Obama put on compensation. Alas I am NOT, so I DO not...
