You scared everyone away! lol

The dow looks like it may have found some short term support at the 6800 level, which would be nice as Im still holding cable long
Amazed at my power !

I log out and back on to see if the forum was stuck

lost USD 15k on the DOW today - heavy in oil and miners - it's past a joke now

oh well - as they say, only another 6800 points to go and then we can relax

Sizeable writedowns here, too. Made a decision this morning (stupidly, as it now appears!!) to close out my short index hedges after the FTSE was down by 120 points, making me long equities. I also used this 120 point drop to increase physical positions in "carefully" selected individual companies.

I was then away from my screen all day and have recently logged on to find a sea of red. Still, I will use this as an opportunity to scale in further tomorrow with increased long positions in individual stocks and selected funds geared to Asian (exc Japan) economies.

If equities drop further, then I shall kid myself that I am investing for the long-term, like Mr Buffett, and am not interested in these short-term gyrations...

Self-delusion is an essential attribute that one needs to cope with the stresses of the markets. That, and keeping your powder dry for future opportunities...

Gods of the markets, please help me in these difficult times.

I'm down $7.5k so far today, which comfortably wipes out my gains from last week....

I havent tried this yet but someone else posted this on this forum so i cant take credit. But apparently it has Dow and dollar index, not sure about S&P though.
