Will the stock market tank before the close of trading today?

Do you think that after yesterday's volatility, the stock market will get spooked today and tank before the close? The big boys have had all night now to make changes in their trading programs, so it's a new game today, methinks.

What do you think gold will do today?

I think we will see some of the same stuff, only it will probably be "controlled" since Timmy won't want people to yank their money out of the market.

I've been wrong on short-term moves before. This could be a buying opportunity, but I'm thinking that's just crazy. What do YOU think?

    Im just happy that I dont have to worry about things like this. Although I do own some mutual funds in my 401, I seldom get involved in the day to day performance of these. Im happy to just sit on the sidelines and watch the chaos!

    I vote that they ran the stops, and now will guarantee their buys are profitable.

    I'm thinking a nearly full recovery, especially with the talk this was all based on a "mistake." Should be a bit wild at the open, but after a good increase, kinda boring by the EOD. FWIW

  • I'm glad to see a disconnect between the S&P and Gold and also to the inverse of the dollar, hope it continues. Gold needs to be soveriegn to really shine.

    I know some of you guys are happy when gold goes up, I hold quite a bit of mining and PM mutual funds so I like to see it do well, but when it is at the expense of the nations economy do you really feel good?

    Nations economy was in the gutter long before $1,200oz gold!

    If the "nation's economy" was not in the throes of destruction
    at the hand of forces out of the control of most metal-owners,
    there might be some "guilt" to feel. Such is not the case.

    Metal prices reflect the problems in the nation's economy; they do
    not create them.

    My obligation to the nation and myself is to be responsible for
    myself. Part of acting responsibly is to assure that I do not
    become a burden to the nation. If any investment or storehouse
    of private wealth helps me to meet that obligation, the sundry
    governments that may come and go should be grateful for my
    service to the "nation's economy."

    The manipulation is nearing the point that it is total. It is nearing the
    point that we essentially have a planned economy. The real problem
    isn't the Soviet type central planning it's the adherence to a status quo
    that can no longer be maintained. There isn't enough oil and there isn't
    enough of anything to maintain the demand that always propelled the
    world economy in the past. The solution is now and always has been to
    restrain consumption by all possible means. Population controls should
    have been instituted everywhere long ago. Waste should be penalized
    heavily rather than heavily subsidized. Efficiency should be rewarded
    rather than corporate greed.


    We are very quickly running out of time to avoid a population decrease.
    Tempus fugit.

    Your prediction was fairly accurate...Dow down & PM's up, except for Gold.
    What's your call for Monday?

    And THAT'S the reason I buy PMs and not stocks...although I haven't been doing great at that lately either...
