bills_fan Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Here's a tip... Buy financials as soon as the market opens tomorrow. As many as you can get. Buy SSB, GS, MS, C, GE...buy as much as possible. Tomorrow should be a big up day for the market. If you want the whole story, see my thread on PPP. And that 10% down may turn to 10% in the other direction within the next 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills_fan Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Add on to my "buy financials" tip, keeping buying Mon and Tues, put sells in pre-open on Wed. Lock in your gains and wait for normalization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm contracted to Ginnie Mae; I actually have access to all their MBS data. I couldn't invest in a bank even if I wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaJoe Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I'm going to have to work until I'm 103 years old!!! Damn, the service at McDonalds is too slow as it is. I don't worry about my 401k, I'm assuming I'll be dead before I can take advantage of it, and why should my wife have so much fun without me.

Buffal0 Bill5 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I put a couple grand in the American Euro Pacific Fund not quite a year ago. To date I am down something like 23%. This week sure didn't help. I looked at the perspectus prior to putting money in, and over 5 years the fund averaged something like 14%. I guess "past performance does not guarantee future results."
