What is with this end of the day stuff? I don't remember seing such big drops at the end of the day in the past.

I think we'd all be better off if the trading day was shortened by an hour....

Great idea REWahoo! All I can say is thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. BTW, the NYSE is open for business on Monday and will not be closed for the Columbus day holiday.​

I'm right there with you - feel like I am in fog and have not even had a drink....yet. These past few weeks are starting to look like a life changing event -- I know firecal would say no-go if I were to put in current figures. But, seeing how I refuse to look at the gory details of my losses that aint going to happen.
I need to go camping for a week - with no way of seeing what is going on - and hope for the best. This daily beating is getting old.
I'm pissed at the bankers for getting us in this mess -

Hey at least gas is cheaper

how would you even know what to plug into firecalc at this point? it looks like stocks are experiencing the same problem real estate had: no buyers. how do you price without a buyer? i think everyone is just winging it at this point.

enjoy your camping trip. me, i'm taking some time in the blue ridge mountains and skyline drive. if i wait another two or three weeks gas should come down enough to pay for an extra hotel night (already paid for one since i started planning).

Doesn't matter; they repo'd my car...
