It goes up, it goes down. If you can't stomach the losses in the short term, you shouldn't be in the market.
For the past 20 YEARS, I've averaged 10% annual returns. I'm excruciatingly diversified. Am I worried about today: not in the least. |

My oil stock jumped 2.75% and the earnings report comes out next, which I think will be positive. I'm looking forward to it.

My Orange shares (formerly France Telecom) are up 1.52% today. But yeah, today's generally a down day.

Since when did a few percent drop in the stock market become a "hammering" or plummeting or whatever term you want for a scary crisis? It reminds me of living in SoCal when one of the few rain storms per year would blow in off the coast and drop 0.25" of rain. All the local weather people would be outside in a raincoat with an umbrella hyping up StormWatch 2010 or StormWatch 2014 like it was going to be 40 days and 40 nights of torrential monsoon downpours. Dunno, maybe just something to all this Wall Street voodoo I'm not privy to where a 1% shift in the DOW really is scary. Doubt it though.

Sorry guys I am just bad luck. Not to mention have you ever noticed that it seems to take the biggest shits on the day you get paid like in today? The 17% that came out of my check today got evaporated.

I am betting it will gap up and recover a significant part of the loss tomorrow. Does look to be in a short-term downtrend though. |

 Get back to me when it drops 10% in a day
Nothing is going to happen. There will be no more market crashes. We are living in a new paradigm. People all over the world are putting their money into US equities. Where else are you going to put money to earn a return? A savings account with .0005% interest? |

I love how people focus on one leaf on one branch on one tree and miss the entire forest when it comes to the stock market.
I have investments. They have good days, they have bad days, but they grow. I have 30-40 years. I am not getting caught up on one day. ETA: Unless the market crashes hard and I have some cash to gobble up some cheap stocks. |

I have to look long term, otherwise I lose like a MFer. Yeah, but if you kept buying every month you'd be way ahead. Investing for long term growth is not a one and done thing. |
