Money Matters - Part 7

634.76 - my screen did not refresh - hard to believe it fell this fast

I bought some more Apple.

LinkedIn dropped 17% today!

Wanted to buy the ETF that shorts oil last Friday, but was in the city all day with the kids. Was up 17% today.

One nice thing - oil is down to $81.

That will be nice when we all start to deliver pizza to pay the mortgage.

Gardensox, if you can answer that question you are set!

Wow - Korean stocks were down almost 8% before the breakers tripped.

Dw's associates were glued to the screens, as if watching a funeral march, I told her she should come home on time.
- she did. ☺

Yes, the standard photo of the traders with their hands over their face is a bit overdone. Life goes on. Market will go up again, at some point. So will house prices. We may not live to see it...

I've got a time estimate, but I'm not allowed to disclose, 'mommy' may spank me... lol!

Don't much believe anyone in the industry!

I don't believe anyone, (without a qualifier).
☺

My grandfather would always tell us something, then ask, 'You believe a lie?'

Playful trickster the old gent.
I learned not to believe anything from the onset unless I see it myself - and even then, the eyes can play tricks if you look too hard...

Groucho said, 'Who you gonna believe, me or your own eyes?'

...though choice. (lol!)

Esp now with the internet, you need to research EVERYTHING

Than you need to research your internet sources.
Just kike the Anthony trial- when it came to a conclusion it was Anthony trial 24/7 but who really truly cared and did it really have anything to do with the life of 99.99 percent of viewers? TV has 3 seconds to keep you or you will click again so they have to talk stocks so you will stop and see if the world blew up yet.

Read you first three words, Sally, then drifted...^_^

Bargain hunters out today. We'll see if it has any legs.

Apple is up nicely from the price I got it yesterday.

Crazy market! Up 430. Nasdaq up 5.3%. Was all over the place after the Fed mtg. I honestly don't see the good news from the meeting. They only verified that the economy really sucks. For them to say they will keep interest rates this low for two years is unprecedented. Don't be surprised if we're back negative again tomorrow.

thanks for that positive outlook - sell that apple stock now

Hee hee. Sorry!

I'm glad I have nothing in stocks

Nothing?!! No 401 (k), or retirement money in stocks at all??

Not me personally

Hubby has an annuity fund in an interest income and some in Wellington

The roller coaster returns.

Italy and Greece are in financial woes, France bailed them out and now France is getting low on funds !?!???

Sacre-blue!!

what is that?

from Wiki: "Sacrebleu is an old French profanity, meant as a cry of surprise or anger."

(...it's like saying "Holy Cow!!")

Sacre - i did not know. Bleu I knew from school as I did take 1/2 year in French. I think I can still count to 10 !!!

Magnifique!
(4 yrs HS french honors, passed the regents with French) - forgot most of it though, if you dont use it - you loose it..

Two-year treasury notes pay a whopping 0.19%!!

Better to stuff it in your mattress.

I am paying 4 99 a month for 'cell phone mobile insurance' It will go up to 6 99 in October. Anybody else buy mobile insurance on the cell phone? The only problem we've ever had with phones is kids droppng them in water- might not be covered, not sure.. I've never lost my phone or had any kind of problem.

No ins. here. AT&T won't offer it for iPhones.

Down over 500 pts again. As I said yesterday, I am not surprised.

30 yr fixed mortgage is now below 4%!! All-time low. Might have to finally consider refinancing.

Just got the ATT insurance increase notice too! Forgot I had if for my wife's phone.
