So you logged into your stock trading account and saw your balance take a good hit today or you checked your 401K and had that panic feeling of what do I do now? Fuck!

In your 401K you aren't going to do a damn thing but enjoy having your contributions/match pick up shares in the funds you are in at a lower price and when the market goes back up, you'll get the money back you lost and make a tidy profit on the shares you picked up at a cheaper rate.

So don't panic and if you need to fuck, do it with your wife, neighbor or whoever else you do it with.

Now for those that have an account where you can buy/sell individual stocks, you really should be licking your chops at the buying opportunities you have in front of you.

A few positions I initiated today were RAD and MU. Companies that until recent history have simply been losers. They didn't show profits in forever and their stock price reflected this.

Initiated RAD @ $2.81 and MU at $14.45. Will look to get out of RAD at $3.10 and take a 10% gain and with MU looking at about $16.50 - $17.

Let's say these aren't for you. Then I would suggest, T, MO, CSCO, IP and buy ORCL on the dip after the earnings disappointment.

Don't go into bonds, mutual funds or any index funds. Too dicey and not worth the hassle and fees involved.

The market may have another day like today on Friday. Triple Witching and more fear/panic selling.

Stay the course and buy on the cheap, don't be scared and make the most of this opportunity because in the end this market is going to move a lot higher.

If you've ever read any of my replies on Facebook and other stocks, I've been pretty much spot on and while past performances isn't an indicator of future performance, I'd say you won't go wrong following my advice here.

Mods please don't move this to the stock area, it will just end up in the wasteland of that area.

I moved my mix in my 401K from 40/60 stocks/bonds to 60/40 after the market today.

We've had a pretty good pullback in the last week...

Correction I am in with MU at $13.45 not $14.45. I typo first time and copied/pasted second time. It was too late to edit.

Thanks for your insights. I'd love to see you post more about the market.

On the other hand:

Las Vegas Sands (LVS) is a great buy right now; might try ORCL but I'll have to see what happens Monday morning.

My point was, if look at two prominent threads that mnmike participated in you'll see that he's the last person on this forum you want to take stock market advice from.

I don't know mnmike and I don't see how his participation in other threads is relevant to what he said in this thread.

Here he said that he sold out a month ago. The DOW peaked at 15,542 on May 22. It closed at 14,758 yesterday. So the way I see it mnmike did a pretty damned good job of timing the market and should be conratulated. Not derided.

More importantly I agree with his insinuation that buying now is likely a mistake as the trend of the market is clearly down as I type this.

Good luck guys.

i agree i think its going a lot lower


With ya. USA dependent on the tit of the Fed. One sentence that asset buying may slow down later in the yr sends the markets crashing . :) hilarious . Anyone who proclaims to know what's in store next is a fool. At mercy, just doesn't know it, a good thing for some
