Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() It was a sell off because of the ridiculous and unsustainable gains we’ve made. It’s the herd mentality of the market. The market is still up 40% since Trump took office. Edited by Rogillio 2018-02-05 4:17 PM |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by mdg2003 <<< Just standing by waiting for frozen orange juice to bottom out.. . … .. Are you going to corner the market? So I took a beating yesterday and lost all the spectacular gains I'd made in January and part of Dec. Oh well, easy come, easy go. Maybe this will take some of the nervousness about a pending correction away and people will calm down now. The real effects of the tax cuts are yet to be seen as business start to expands and hire. All analysts seem to think the "fundamentals" looks good and we are in a period of growth. So then, all's well and back to our brandies. |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by mdg2003 Hannity. He's our Maddow. ![]() LOL! Good comparison. I do not watch him regularly but I watched him last night and realize why. He put out a series of statements in his opening monologue that defines what we know and/or think happened. That was the first 5 minutes. He spent the next 50 minutes saying the same thing over and over again.....repeating what he'd said to each of his guests. His last guest, Mark Levine (?) did have a few different takes or additions. I usually surf. I will go from MSNBC to FOX to CNN and jump back between those three. It's two different planets we live on! I watch one station till I get fed up with the lies or distortion or goofy accusations or personal attacks and then I flip the channel. I really like Trey Gowdy and hate that he is leaving Congress. I read a quote from him today: My wife hates it when I say this, but I was a pretty good prosecutor, I think. But I've been a pretty lousy politician,” Gowdy told CBS News’ Face the Nation. “I've done it for seven years,” he added. “I'm really grateful for the opportunity to do it, but it's time for me to — whatever time I've got left, I want to spend it in the justice system because that's where my heart is.” But Gowdy seemed to take a stab at the current Congress culture on his way out, saying he considers himself lousy because he can see “multiple sides of a single issue.” I wish more people in Congress thought like this! There are multiple sides to every argument! |

Yep......and that's exactly what people in the market are counting on, folks like you who had been sitting by waiting for a correction to get back in. I actually hope it goes a bit deeper, but I doubt it's a coincidence that the market rallied today after it opened so low that it went into "correction" territory......lots of managers out there with orders to buy in if it got there.....and the rally followed with the new money. It's not like we're in a recession......quite the opposite. Edited by Left Brain 2018-02-06 6:49 PM |

I know that the part of my portfolio that had the highest gains last year was my international growth funds, netted something like 32% last year. Of course, some of that is poofed now ![]() |

I'm not going as far as saying they will crash, but I can see them becoming much more volatile in the next few years. |
