Mod, you can have your place back!!!

My horse started running backwards!!!!!!!!!

[Value Buy]

Crazy market today.
Example,
Green Mountain coffee.
That cup of Joe fell off the table this morning.

[ModE98]

Wow,kadee, that was quite a tumble. Hope RIMM did not break a leg.

[rovo]

The track is covered in horse carcasses. ModE manages to avoid the fallen and takes the roses. clarkrl2 stumbles in the home stretch but finishes in second place. D.I. managed to overtake Trong at the wire for third place.

[ModE98]

This was a strange week for a race... YONG only won roses by default. Hard to believe the end of this race.

Will the market downtrend continue next week or two?

[beenherebefore]

Congratulations to the survivors, commiserations to my fellow fallen.

Whew, what a mess! Did the market go to shambles only because of the unemployment numbers or did I miss something?

[ModE98]

Appears the slow "recovery" is now stuck in neutral. It will have to shift back into "drive" to get moving again. Suspect the markets will remain "spooky" for some time. Just hope we do not fall asleep at the wheel and have a little "fender bender". Perhaps for the time being iit will just "drift". When prudent investors become nervous and in doubt, things just "fiddle faddle" in limbo (or worse).

Next week will confirm if the downtrend continues or things level out for now. In any case, guessing market unlikely to exceed -10% or so at worst. Just musing, everyone has to "go figure" this one out.

[kadee79]

Congrats Mod! Yes, it was some week! I think my horse died out there! I also think I will bury him....change rides for next week!

[architecto25]

Mod E......CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WIN...
Terrible market week... late yesterday, I checked on the Dow 30 list...and not a one was in the green.
Oh Well, we have "next week"........

[blackliver]

A toast to your victory Mod. mmm I just love tempelton rye for lunch.

[ModE98]

Archi, next week may be worse if "bad news" is on the rise. Tread softly, and avoid any pot holes on the investing path. Yet, we can "hope" nothing gets out of hand in the markets.
